“The investigations are still ongoing and have the specific objective of clarifying the level of awareness and participation of the officers in the illegal activities committed by the carabinieri in service at the Piacenza Levante station»Writes the judge who ordered the arrests of the six soldiers and the kidnapping of the barracks. Refers to the marshal at the head of the station, Marco Orlando, and to the major commander of the Company, Stefano Bezzeccheriinvestigated and suspended from service. But the investigation is littered with clues to the weapon’s internal awareness of what was going on in that barracks; of “anomalies” never reported to the top. Not even by those who said that “Levante kids have to be downsized because they have grown a little too much », like a carabiniere he had worked there until 2018. As long as the major Rocco Papaleo, already on duty in Piacenza, he told the municipal police about it. But without referring anything to their hierarchical scale, thus preventing the weapon from being able to intervene promptly.

In addition to the criminal investigation (from tomorrow the interrogation of guarantees will begin) and that opened by the military prosecutor, yesterday the General Command of the Weapon started the “summary” investigation envisaged by the military system in the face of “events of particular gravity or resonance which could have negative effects on public opinion due to their sensitivity or the number of people involved”. The Interregional Command of Padua will conduct it, eiDefense Minister Lorenzo Guerini he specified that it will serve to verify «if there have been critical issues in the controls and in the organization of the territorial reality; the weapon remains a legality defense».

The internal investigations of the institution will also concern the behavior of the Major Papaleo, but the level of checks cannot fail to rise. Starting from three provincial commanders who have alternated in the past three yearsi – the colonels Corrado Scarretico, Michele Piras and Stefano Savo -, that they do not appear to have ever noticed of what happened to the Levant. Above them is the regional commander of Emilia Romagna: the current one, the general Davide Angrisani, arrived a month and a half ago; before him was there Claudio Domizi, now at the top of the official student school.

It is with Bezzeccheri that the marshal at the head of another station spoke of the need for “Downsizing” the carabinieri of the Levante. The two discussed the difficulties that had arisen between Marshal Orlando and his subordinates who ended up in jail, and Bezzecheri explained: «It’s not that one can abuse that much, that you can put your feet on his head … You have to find the right balance, that is, “Leave us alone? Are you going to keep us quiet? Can you make us feel comfortable? And we work and have fun. ” But, let’s say, it must be a contribution from both sides ».

The problem is that from other interceptions it emerges a direct relationship “of particular confidence” between the pinned Peppe Montella (the leader of the gangsters in uniform, according to the prosecution) and Bezzeccheri himself, who stepped over the station commander to push his subordinates to make as many arrests as they could. They telephoned, organized meetings in and out of the office (“I have to talk to you urgently, face to face, in plain clothes”), to face what for the major had become a sort of obsession: competition from those who could account for multiple catches with the neighboring companies of Bobbio and Rivergaro. “Because I know how Montè did this – said Bezzeccheri on March 5 -, in Rivergaro and Bobbio I have to give him an ass like this ... It’s a matter of pride, because my ass is spinning that people who are not worth a shit compared to you do the figures with the colonel, with the commander of the Legion, etc. etc. ». Montella’s answer: «I now … Let’s try to do as much as possible, also next week, at least to make another three to four ». Follows the praise of the major: «The maximum result with minimum effort».

The investigation that brought them to prison revealed the method by which, in the reconstruction of the accusation, Montella and her colleagues organized the arrests of drug dealers. And the only policeman from Piacenza Levante not investigated, Riccardo Beatrice, talked about it with his father (retired carabiniere) to underline: «They manage each other … because they bring results… I make you look good colonel and I bring you a lot of arrests a year! … They work a lot, but why? … They have hooks ».
–
The “repentant carabiniere” of the Cucchi case seems to be affected, who said about his colleagues convicted of the beating: «They were a bit like the captain’s pupils, because they wanted to make more arrests to get noticed … ». Even Beatrice, however, who denounced false acts and “things done” to her father a public public… », he remained silent with the superiors: «Now I’m doing my cocks because I don’t want to stay here. But if I had to stay here … that day .. skip everything, skip!». The magistrates arrived first, blow everything up; also by virtue of its silences.
