“What if there are any changes in the charges? I don’t know.” Thus the lawyer Giovanni Caruso, Filippo Turetta’s lawyer, responding to a question from reporters upon leaving the Verona prison where he met his client. Turetta is accused of kidnapping and aggravated voluntary homicide for the death of Giulia Cecchettin. The 22-year-old landed in Venice aboard the Falcon 900Ex which left Frankfurt and from there he was escorted to the Verona prison. At the time of his surrender by the German police, the young man was handcuffed and handcuffed, as happens for all those accused of murder in Germany, but “the Italian citizen nevertheless proved to be calm and cooperative” and “interacted in English” with German police officers were present, as Joerg Martienssen, spokesperson for the Frankfurt am Main airport police, confirmed to LaPresse.
Turetta was “in normal conditions, calm” when he entered the Veronese facility, as specified by the prison director Francesca Gioieni, who saw him for the completion of the paperwork and procedures, from the medical to the psychiatric examination. The first face-to-face meeting with the new lawyer, the lawyer Giovanni Caruso, also took place in the prison, who confirmed that he had found the young man “in acceptable conditions but very, very tired. The boy is disoriented”, he added, specifying that he did not to have “entered into the merits” of the matter. “The boy basically didn’t say anything, we didn’t address the aspects of the material defense in detail.” We will talk about that on Tuesday when, confirms the lawyer, there will be the interrogation before the investigating judge. On that occasion the public prosecution could advance other charges, such as premeditation. But at the moment, as said by the lawyer, it doesn’t appear.
On the day in which the international day against violence against women is celebrated, Giulia’s father, Gino, takes to Facebook to post a red ribbon. “Speak, report, trust!”, His words, simple and direct, for women victims of violence. Violence that also returns in the post of Elena Cecchettin, Giulia’s sister. The young woman chooses Instagram to send a long letter to her sister, to tell her that “this house, which until just over a year ago was too small, now seems so empty, so large and dull”. A long post in which the pain of loss and anger at the violence against women alternate.
