satisfied, downhill road to Festa

“I am definitely satisfied with the reasons given by the Supreme Court in the two separate judgments against the former mayor of Avellino Gianluca Festa”. This is the comment of criminal lawyer Dario Vannetiello, who supported the defense of the former mayor together with criminal lawyer Luigi Petrillo: “The Court of Cassation first of all underlined that the mayor should not have been arrested either in the first investigation or in the second. Then the existence of circumstantial gravity was excluded with respect to crimes of central importance, such as for example the very serious crime of misdirection. Finally, the numerous questions raised on the subject of wiretaps, mind you, were not rejected by the Supreme Court, but simply not evaluated as it was considered that it was the defense’s burden to indicate, one by one, crime by crime, the specific wiretaps involved. from the deduced unusability”. And he added: “This was not done simply because the unusability of the wiretaps overwhelms all the evidence, I mean all, for each of the contested crimes.
This does not constitute a limit at all because Festa’s defense will be able to easily make this simple list of the evidence raised during the trial, already during the preliminary hearing. In short, an undisputed success for the defense. My analysis Never in the judicial history of Irpinia has two precautionary custody orders in two separate proceedings been annulled without postponement, even without postponement with immediate release. The road to the future trial of the mayor is downhill”.
