NAPOLI (Dec. 23) - Interdependence across the political, institutional, goodwill and interest placed at the center of negotiations that border on blackmail. In six thousand pages Romeo investigation on the case, what emerges is the rule of "dishonesty" the exchange mechanism put in place by the protagonists. And in this scenario stands the figure of Mario Mautone, former superintendent of public works of Campania and Molise. In a statement from the DIA
Neapolitan defines the relationship of the suspect, who range from members of An, the councilors of the Italia dei Valori, the mayors of the country of Campania to the Chief, by the magistrates of the Court of Auditors, to the lord. Everyone wants something from Mautone, they want money, interventions and recommendations for contracts and jobs.
And he does the same, asking for a job "suitable" for his mistress.
There is a chapter that investigators call "ambiguous" and covers the links between Christian Di Pietro and the former administrator. For the Anti-Mafia Investigation Department, Mautone implement a blackmail attempt against him. However, it is true that the young son of former Minister for Infrastructure, municipal councilor in Campobasso, in its call set of "courtesy" calls "to be entrusted with tasks which he set out to architects', also urged by a former secretary, then became secretary of the minister, and 'other assignments outside of the institutional environment. "
investigators write, "Mautone communicate with him are two architects, friends of Christ, to whom we should not make people angry. Of course, requests are immediately answered by the administrator who shall report to the son of the minister. " The Dia
also cites an incident that "defines and deals with the sudden eerie silence phone Cristiano." On several occasions, in fact, the City Council expressed concern about the conversations via cable, and even begin to respond to the administrator or not unplug the phone. Di Pietro, Jr., in short, seems to distance himself from his former friend, to the point that the ministry will ask another person of interest on contracts and other issues dear to him. Some of the regional secretariat of the minister, then report back - it is always written in the informative - That "Di Pietro told him that his son Christian is wrong and you are exposed too much." And indeed, on occasion, he also expressed a clear refusal relating to some of his requests. "As above - explain investigators - suggests that, around 29 July 2007, could have been a leak." Meanwhile, Mautone is transferred to the former Minister Di Pietro is a meeting where he asks his employees to hold off his son because "too exposed."
The alleged blackmail attempt would be put in place after the transfer of the administrator of Campania. The investigation shows all his bitterness at the decision and communicate it to his "friends." All agree on the line to take, namely 'blackmail the son of Peter ... why is it important to keep the minister under. " Mautone try in every way to remain in place, or at least to receive an interim appointment. But it will be useless. In a conversation with his wife, she tells him: "Do not you have to move from Naples, the power that you can not take hold here in Rome."
In six thousand pages of investigation there are also many phone calls that the entrepreneur Alfredo Romeo does to politicians that interest them: from the evening to have dinner with Gianfranco Fini, the greetings Andrea Ronchi led by Italo Bocchino, to conversations with Ciriaco De Mita and the governor Antonio Bassolino. Del
January 28 is the last phone call in which the secretary of the governor's moves Bassolino, who asked if "everything goes well and if you can meet tomorrow as had been agreed previously." The summaries of two other phone calls, 30 January, the governor's office still refers to meetings with the museum director Mother.
The social relations of Romeo expand, and its power beyond the borders of Campania. Among the suspects, then there are those who, like former commissioner Enrico Cardillo, agrees on the phone to a Julie that an effective system to compensate the municipal budget, "using the ploy of a Memorandum of Understanding shall procure the sum of twenty million Euros for the defense of children and adolescents entrusted to the court. " Pace of good feelings.
