(ANSA) – BARI, June 30 – This morning the defense of the Canadian director and Oscar-winning screenwriter Paul Haggis filed a petition for revocation of the precautionary measure. Haggis has been under house arrest since 19 just for crimes of sexual violence and aggravated injuries on a 28-year-old English woman. “The revocation request – explains the lawyer, the Bari criminal lawyer Michele Laforgia – is based not only on the basis of the fact, which had already been ascertained, of the absence of gynecological sexual intercourse injuries, but also on the basis of the results of yesterday’s long probative incident “. For 8 and a half hours yesterday the alleged victim before the investigating judge Vilma Gilli, the same who signed the arrest warrant for Haggis, answered the prosecution and defense questions to crystallize her story.
“In our opinion – says the lawyer Laforgia – all the reasons for which there has been no sexual violence in this affair have been amply confirmed”. (HANDLE).
