“I find unacceptable the juxtaposition of my person to facts and events to which I am completely unrelated. And I find unacceptable the speculation which, in contempt of the truth, has been conducted for days by some media outlets regarding my honour. I only ran into Mr Amico at the end of a dinner – in which he did not even participate – consumed with my colleague Frassinetti at the end of a day of classroom work. It was a completely casual, fleeting and without any meaning. As far as I know, Amico had come to the restaurant to try to meet his colleague Frassinetti, since he was a local politician. That’s all, over time, I have never had relationships of any kind with Mr. Gioacchino Amico, as can be verified at any time, I have never had female assistants: therefore, the reference to a female lawyer who would have been included in the Ministry of the Interior, after having been part of my political secretariat, is also a blatant lie they are just boasts or, worse, outright slander. And whoever is still responsible for them will be held accountable in court.”
This was declared by Fratelli d’Italia senator Ella Bucalo, responding to the news circulated yesterday in the press agencies on the alleged relationships with Gioacchino Amico, considered the representative of the Senese clan in Lombardy, and now repentant. The Barcellona MP Pozzo di Gotto, moreover, is not among those under investigation in the Hydra investigation, by the Milan DDA.
