(ANSA) - TURIN, JAN 9 - Roberto Rosso, the ex-assessor of Piedmont arrested on December 20 on charges accused of political-mafia exchange, remains in prison. I make known the defense attorney Giorgio Piazzese, who had asked for his imprisonment. "I respect but do not agree with the decision of the review - says Piazzese - There is no precautionary requirement because there is no element in the documents that demonstrates a connection neither in that time nor least today with organized crime.
"For the Prosecutor's office - continues Piazzese - Rosso is blackmailable as he would not have confessed. Rosso made an interrogation in which he reconstructed the whole affair and collaborated with the prosecutors.
He certainly cannot confess an offense that he is aware of not having committed. "For the lawyer," Rosso was totally unaware of the fact that the other suspects could be connected to crime and if he had even imagined it, he would have avoided any relationship. I wait to read the reasons for evaluating the possibility of an appeal ".
