Tomorrow, Tuesday 14 March, in prime time, on Italia 1, on 'Le Iene' the interview with the President of the Council Giorgia Meloni on the news story that occurred on 2 July 1983, known as the 'Ponticelli massacre'.
The show 'Le Iene presenta: Inside' on Sunday evening dedicated an entire episode to the investigation by Giulio Golia and Francesca Di Stefano entitled 'Monsters or Innocents?', in which the stages of the story were retraced. Below are some excerpts from the interview with Prime Minister Meloni, which will be broadcast in full on Tuesday.
"He officially convinced me to take care of it," Prime Minister Meloni told the cameras of 'Le Iene'. "Without prejudice to the fact that sentences are respected and that we have respect for the Judiciary. I was struck by the case, they struck me and I am struck by the fact that, if anything were the case, there is another culprit.
In a just state, if you have objective elements, you address any errors. It is possible that something might come out that wasn't there before". Giulio Golia also gave her a USB stick with the video of the special episode broadcast: "Thank you, I'll study it and see what can be done", the prime minister replied.
THE FACTS – Forty years ago Barbara Sellini and Nunzia Munizzi, two girls aged 7 and 10, were raped, tortured, killed, and finally set on fire. A brutal and cruel crime that shocked not only Naples but the whole of Italy, and that, after two months of investigations and three years of trials, sentenced Ciro Imperante, Giuseppe La Rocca, and Luigi Schiavo to life imprisonment.
The three, who had just turned 18 at the time of the crime, maintained from the start that they were innocent. Today, after having served their sentences, they continue to declare themselves victims of what could be one of the most sensational miscarriages of justice in our country. This case has also attracted the attention of the Parliamentary Anti-Mafia Commission, which has recently raised several doubts about the investigations carried out, which have led it to consider a possible review of the sentencing process.
According to the Commission's analysis, in fact, the shadow of organised crime may have fallen over the affair.
