Did Emanuela Orlandi really spend years in London after her disappearance in June 1983? To “support” this hypothesis is the story of the “gentleman thief” Vincenzo Pipino: “One day Enrico De Pedis called me and asked me to get him a false passport. Only later did I discover that it was used for the transfer of…”
The case of Emanuela Orlandi over the years it has been compared to numerous pistelike that of Londonand approached several personalities. Some even dubious, like Renatino De Pedisboss of Magliana band. A very famous thief from Veneto spoke about this possible connection, Vincenzo Pipinobetter known as the “gentleman thief“. Reason? He has never used weapons. “One day Enrico De Pedis called me and asked me to get him a fake passport. Only later did I discover that it was used for Emanuela Orlandi’s transfer to London”. In fact, according to various clues Emanuela, after her disappearance on June 22, 1983 she would be transferred to London, where she would remain until 1997. “He told me that he immediately needed a passport for a young woman from Venice. The passport should have reported Emanuela Orlandi’s name and her photo, but it must have been from Venice”.
And again: “With her, in fact, another girl, from Veneto, would have expatriated. The trip was supposed to depart from Venice. The destination, however, would have been London”. This is yet another detail that could somehow corroborate the English leadthe next misdirection who in forty-one years since his disappearance can no longer be counted? The London hypothesis is the one that convinces the brother the most Pietro Orlandiwho recently talked about a reserved flight requested by Vatican al Ministry of Defensewhich would have been used for the transfer of the fifteen-year-old Vatican citizen. A story told to Pietro Orlandi by a person who was working in the company at the time private secretariat of the Ministry: “In August 1983 there was a request from the Holy See of a reserved flight with the CAI lines, used by the services, for four people from Rome to London, and that that flight left from Ciampino at night”. A coincidence or Emanuela actually spent years in London?
