The ACQUITTAL OF THE PUSHER

‘On the death of Mark I still have many doubts that I would like to be clarified, “he told his mother in a recent interview. “I read the folders of the Court and there are things written that are not true. Mark was not only the residence; with him there could be more people. He called the police, talking about people who gave him trouble, and an hour later was found dead. In his room were found a few jackets that had left Milan, since when he had arrived at that hotel, he had no luggage. I ask for the reopening of the process because I want to explain, get answers. In my opinion, Mark had stepped on the foot to someone, because he said what he thought: he spoke of doping, said that doping exists. ” “Mark will never return – he added, anything but resigned – but I still expect the truth, Rimini as of Madonna di Campiglio.” On November 10, three years ago, the Supreme Court had acquitted “because the offense is not” the alleged pusher Pantani, who is accused of having caused the death with the sale of pure cocaine.
