Alexander Stille: the villa as it was bought?
Gianni Barbacetto
Alexander Stille knows well, the deeds of Citizen Berlusconi said that in his book. And remember well the maneuvers in which he managed to get hold of the villa in Arcore, about houses finished to politicians or their relatives. From the U.S., where he lives and works (journalist, professor of Journalism at Columbia University), continues to follow day by day the Italian situation, in this summer of blackmail. 'E' for 16 years that Italy is the country of blackmail: Silvio Berlusconi since he entered politics. Many Italian show not to notice, but it is his multiple conflicts of interest (owner of TV and man of government, the defendant and the promoter of justice laws ...) firstly to make himself vulnerable to blackmail. For years, can offer benefits to its companies. For years, runs the risk of going to jail. In this situation, it is clear that the entire Italian politics is at risk of blackmail. "
It is now blatantly went to visit an old friend, Cesare Previti ...
could receive it in secret at Palazzo Grazioli, maybe after having brought in by a side entrance: no, he went to his house with all the spare car and reporters in tow. A sign that the relationship with him is never finished. Previti once told him: "Silvio, did not understand that they want to hit me to hit you? ". It is no coincidence that Berlusconi paid the legal costs of his old friend. And then the pardon of the Minister Clemente Mastella, during the Prodi government, has been expanded to also save Previti. The men close to Berlusconi since his first steps, by Marcello Dell'Utri Previti, to Aldo Brancher, were never abandoned. blackmail I have clearly influenced many of Italian affairs. Dell'Utri is not too been sidelined, despite a conviction for Mafia on appeal, and his involvement in the so-called P3: those who know they are never downloaded.
A Berlusconi then blackmailed blackmail makes Italian politics?
I remember an incident that occurred in 2005 with Marco Follini, who was a post in the Berlusconi government. After an electoral defeat in local elections, Follini said it was time to move from 'monarchy to the Republic'. Silvio said: 'I'm glad, I see that the TV treat you right, that our newspapers will not attack you. Of course, if you go on like ...'. Follini concluded: 'I would say that today I was threatened'. This is Italian politics. With a media system used as a cudgel against whoever comes out of line. Today
attacks on the house, an important asset, even symbolically, for the Italians.
remember the role played by Previti at a good price when it passed the house of Arcore Berlusconi, the daughter is legal heir of the Marchesa Casati Stampa, the old owners. Misconduct: he helped his new client, and should have done that represented the interests of the Marquis. But no one remembers the previous misconduct: the first orphan to be a lawyer, Previti was legal heirs of the murdered wife of the Marquis Casati Stampa, supporting the view that it was up to their legacy, assuming (later rejected by the courts ) that his wife had died after her husband, who shot her and then she was killed. This lost cause, following passes away and is the daughter became legitimate heir. Professionally unacceptable conduct: one can not proceed from one party to the conflict. It had to be driven from the register of lawyers even then, no need to wait twenty years and the conviction in cases 'dirty togas'.
unclear even the behavior of Fini, the house of Monte Carlo ...
Yes, but an account is a very clear case, around an apartment Fini says he does not even have ever seen. Another is the case of the villa in which Berlusconi is still alive today, snatched a minor orphan. And 'any of these years: they attack in the area where they know they're weakest. The holder of a conflict of interest macroscopic goes in search of some small conflict of interest then to taunt opponents. It 's the way Berlusconi, in Italy already Gherardo Colombo described it as the Republic of blackmail.
