They are the ones that on 11 March 2014 – unaware of being intercepted – discuss whether to fund the Foundation Italianieuropei of Massimo D’Alema, interview by the judge considered “extremely important for the way in which they distinguish between the political and the institutions of their referents making a clear but significant distinction between those who in due course become dirty hands (“put their hands in the shit”) and those who do not. ”

Monday, when the police entered in the homes of suspects for make arrests, searched apartments and Casari found the envelope with 16 000 € in cash. “It’s money that I keep available for the needs of the family, if anything happens to me,” he explained.
