Piera Maggio in recent days had announced through his social profiles that he had distrusted the broadcast “Fourth Degree“: “The program is wary Fourth Degree to stop dealing with my daughter’s case, nor to mention my name or that of my daughter because of the continuous, repeated offensive phrases against me affirmed with inopportune vehemence, without demeanor, by Carmelo Abbate and without any distancing on the part of Nuzzi, demonstrating, on the contrary, a blatant partisan attitude and certainly not guaranteed. We reserve the right to sue the program and the authors who allow this massacre of the victims of a crime “, had communicated the mother of Denise Pipitone, the child who disappeared from Mazara del Vallo 17 years ago, after having already made public a message of indignation sent on Whatsapp to the conductor Gianluigi Nuzzi, especially the journalist Carmelo Abbate.
In the episode of Fourth Degree aired on Friday 25 June, the landlord decided to reply to Ms. Maggio, addressing Denise’s case, despite the presence of a warning: “If mom Piera Maggio wants an apology from us, I’ll make them”, Thus began Nuzzi. “There is an important pact between Fourth Degree and you viewers and viewers who follow us. This pact has only one rule: the news first of all. This means that we do not keep silent about anything, we respect everyone and we do not have the presumption to solve cases. Of course, we can have a stimulating role for the investigations, but by telling everything, absolutely everything. And this we can do without letting us dictate the schedules or themes from anyone, if not from the news. The priority is that of facts ”.
“This is our deal with you. I have a word in my head, which I always repeat to myself: ‘respect’. For the victims, for their relatives. We do not chase gossip or ‘they say’. We follow the work of the investigators, the testimonies, the minutes, the service reports, the sentences, the motivations: all that material that the investigators compose to get to the truth and justice “, the journalist continued his reply:” Since I haveFourth Degree‘, I have a great and only regret, that of not having been present when poor Denise disappeared, because’ Quarto Grado ‘was not there then. If we had been there we would have presided over justice and truth ”.
The conductor then defended the work of his team, adding in a subsequent passage: “You can not distrust the information” then showing anger at the investigations that “they were done badly, very badly“And still today”there is so much, too much confusion “, hence the quote from the former prosecutor Maria Angioni. A reply that led to a new question and answer, in the evening a post by Piera Maggio, Denise’s mother commented: ““Are we stupid? … WE WILL GO FORWARD… In the appropriate places. #DenisePipitone # VeritàPerDenise #Respect? “.
