He had not yet become a grandfather when his daughter’s partner barrel massacre in Colleferro, in Rome, the 21 year old Willy Monteiro Duarte. Today, however, “I am a grandfather without being a father-in-law”. To speak is Salvatore Ladagahealthcare entrepreneur and director of Forza Italia, as well as father of Silviacompanion of Gabriele Bianchi. Interviewed by Corriere della Seratells of when his daughter told him that if he had a child, he would have been with Gabriele Bianchi, one of the two brothers who last July 4th was sentenced to life for the murder of Willy Monteiro. “We are all collateral victims of the Bianchi brothersbut this here more », says Ladaga referring to his nephew: «What does he have to do with it? He was not born ». When that 6 September 2020 Gabriele and Marco Nianchi kicked and punched Willy until he killed him, Silvia was still pregnant. «Gabriele was there. And he didn’t have to. ‘ Before all this happened, Ladaga had warned her daughter: “It is not a question of class, God forbid – she says – but of ways: he is a bully, an idiot, a bully“. In the early days, the entrepreneur also decided to help them build something together, “I sent him to open a fruit shop”, but the Bianchi brothers continued to dealing drugs and organizing punitive expeditions.
The next battles in the Court
Immediately after the sentence, Gabriele telephones Silvia from the Rebibbia prison. Ladaga remembers well what she said to him: «My dear fellow, here we are talking about the fact that if you stand straight maybe tomorrow you can take your child to university. Every other day. Perhaps. This is the future that awaits us“. However, the Ladaga family seems determined to continue the battle in court. This is the promise made to Silvia. For this reason they have already decided to change lawyer. “We will choose a technician who even looks beyond the Supreme Court, to the European Court if necessary, because I don’t even trust the appeal. Too much pressure, too much threshing»Says the entrepreneur. And if that day the Bianchi brothers did not ask Willy’s family for forgiveness, perhaps it is because «the time had not come. It would have been misunderstood».
