The State learned of Aldo Moro’s death hours before the phone call with which the Red Brigades announced the presence of the body in via Caetani. This was revealed in a long Report investigation that will be broadcast this evening by Claudio Signorile, then number two of the Socialist Party. Interviewed by the journalists of the television programme, he recalls what happened on the morning of 9 May 1978, the day in which the body of the president of the DC was found, when he was in Cossiga’s room. “The buzzer goes on and from the buzzer the voice – says Signorile – Two messages. The first: the red car etc. inside, then the second after a few minutes: the well-known personality, bureaucratic language of the Ministry of the Interior, by personality it is etc., etc. At that point he tells me I have to resign and I say, you’re right. We hug each other.”
The journalist points out that that phone call came early in the morning, around 9.30, while the one from the Red Brigades only arrived at 12.15. Therefore Cossiga, then Minister of the Interior, would have known of Moro’s death hours before the official discovery.
In this evening’s episode, Sigfrido Ranucci’s program will also publish other interviews and testimonies from those days, in which involvement of the English secret services in the case is also hypothesized.
