Garlasco murder: lawyer Venditti, surreal equation of corrupt prosecutor and innocent murderer

Milan, 12 October (LaPresse) – ‘My client has witnessed an unjustified and irrational attack on his reputation, which he has built up over a lifetime. My client has seen the destruction of a lifetime of values and honesty, built up day after day through his work.’ These were the words of Domenico Aiello, lawyer for former Pavia Attorney General Mario Venditti, during a press conference in Milan. ‘The equation “corrupt Venditti equals innocent murderer and the new suspect is guilty” is science fiction, it is surreal. It is legal heresy, blasphemy. We must return to considering the rules of trial and criminal investigation,’ concluded the lawyer.
