(ANSA) – MILAN, 20 JUL – The trial on the Ruby ter case “is characterized by a unique element, by a very strong media attention, from 2010 to 2014, on the very private behaviors of the people involved and which created a thick fog that superimposed moral judgments on criminal judgments “. This was explained by the lawyer Patrizia De Natale, lawyer of Lisney Barizonte, one of the young former guests of the Arcore evenings and accused in Milan together with the former premier Silvio Berlusconi and 27 other people.
“Looking beyond the fog – said the defender – we realize the absolute criminal irrelevance of the facts”.
The lawyer, asking for acquittal for the accusations of perjury and corruption in judicial documents in the third hearing dedicated to the defense, clarified that this “is the first case of corruption in which the price of corruption starts from traceable transfers”. And he asked a question: “Why should a person be paid to lie about touching, kissing, about the famous statuette of Priapus, or about facts that do not constitute a crime and then declare in court the price of corruption, that is, of having had money?” . For Barizonte the prosecutors asked for a sentence of 3 years and 6 months. The lawyer, like others, pointed out that the minutes of the alleged false testimony are hit “by absolute unusability” after an order by the judges who ruled that the girls had to be investigated already when they were summoned to the courtroom as witnesses in the Ruby trials. . “There is no qualification as a public official for corruption – he added – my client was under investigation since March 2012, while his testimony of him and April 2012”. And again: “That money is not the price of corruption, whoever asked for financial help had it and for this reason the figures given are all different”. The corruption agreement is only a mere presumption, it is not identified “and the damage” to the image produced to these girls is incalculable, they were pointed out as prostitutes for having gone to very normal dinners. “Hence the” compensation “of the Knight.
