Sangiuliano case, the former minister investigated by the Rome Public Prosecutor's Office. Boccia's interview on Rete 4 skipped

The former Minister of Culture, Gennaro Sangiuliano, is under investigation by the Rome Public Prosecutor's Office. The crimes alleged by the magistrates are those of embezzlement and disclosure and dissemination of official secrets. His registration stems from the complaint made by Avs MP Angelo Bonelli (video) last week at the Montecitorio police station. As per protocol, the file will pass to the Tribunal of Ministers, considering the office held until a few days ago by Sangiuliano. The facts that the prosecutors are called upon to investigate revolve around the same ones for which the former Mic holder submitted his irrevocable resignation, i.e. the relationship with the 41-year-old Maria Rosaria Boccia , who was involved in institutional activities even without a specific assignment.

Who is Maria Rosaria Boccia, from two degrees to fashion

The offence of embezzlement concerns the alleged trips that the businesswoman said she made together with the former minister, including long-distance trips and for events unrelated to Sangiuliano's role . The former minister himself reiterated several times that no public money was spent on Boccia. The same applies to the offence of disclosure and dissemination of official secrets, an accusation that also stems from the words of the consultant who has repeatedly claimed to have been involved in organisational meetings ahead of the G7. Once the investigation file has been received, the court in charge of ministerial offences will have 90 days to carry out verifications, possibly hearing the persons involved and entrusting investigators with the task of carrying out investigations. Once the investigations have been completed, it will be possible to decide either to dismiss the proceedings in total autonomy or to forward the documents to the public prosecutor with a report so that he can request authorisation to proceed.

'I have yet to speak with former minister Sangiuliano. That of the Rome Public Prosecutor's Office is a due act after the complaint presented by MP Bonelli'. This is what the lawyer Silvero Sica, defender of the former Minister of Culture, Gennaro Sangiuliano said when interviewed by the La7 programme l'Aria che tira. "I have viewed the former minister's chats and I am serene. I have no fear of what this lady may say,' the lawyer added about Maria Rosaria Boccia's possible new revelations. 'I have something to say on this point. Journalists should do their job: you verify who the accuser is and then move on to the accused, a certain press has altered the rules of the profession'.

Maria Rosaria Boccia's participation in the interview scheduled on Rete 4 to 'È sempre Cartabianca' with Bianca Berlinguer was cancelled. The presenter of the programme said that Boccia had "come all the way to the studio to speak live" and that "the interview had also been announced by herself on social media". "In so many years of my profession it had never happened to me, I was speechless, I did not expect that this interview could not take place because she had offered herself, and as our journalists know, she had also said that she wanted to participate in the talk, to confront herself with others, she did not want her interview to be commented on without her," the journalist added. "This afternoon she arrived at the studios and after a long conversation told us that we had not been sufficiently informed about her case and that she preferred to take another week, pledging to return next Tuesday. She had also arrived early,' Berlinguer stressed.
