VOICES AND TESTIMONIALS FROM THE SEQUESTRIAL PLACES - VIDEO
The dossier will be examined by the prosecutor Eugenio Albamonte, owner of the latest investigations still open in piazzale Clodio on the Moro affair and in particular the one started after the statements of the former head of the New Organized Camorra, Raffaele Cutolo, who told the magistrates about his possible intervention to save the statesman and the one that revolves around Steve Pieczenik, an American psychiatrist and terrorist expert who during the days of the kidnapping was part of the crisis committee at the Interior Ministry.
Among the ideas that the work of the commission makes available to judges is also that relating to the presumed existence of another presumed place of imprisonment for Moro, in addition to that of via Montalcini, in the Balduina area.
In particular, the work of the "bicameral" concerned
the area of via Licinio Calvo where the brigades, after the blitz of via Fani, left the cars used to exterminate the escort agents and take away the then president of the DC

THAT DRAMATIC MARCH 16 IN THE LAUNCHES OF THE ANSA AGENCY
Vatican mystery on 10 billion ransom -
In May 1978, a few days before the discovery of the body of Aldo Moro, the Vatican was ready to pay up to 10 billion lire for the release of the president of the DC, hostage of the Red Brigades.
The banknotes - bundles of dollars, with bands from a Jewish bank - were on a console in the pontifical residence of Castel Gandolfo and were shown by Pope Paul VI to Monsignor Cesare Curioni, head of prison chaplains, who had activated contacts for the release of Moro.
Also present was Msgr.
Fabio Fabbri, secretary of Don Curioni.
But where did all that money come from?
And what happened to them?
Nobody knows.
Don Curioni died in 1996 without that mystery being revealed, Msgr.
Fabbri told the Moro Commission he did not know, and recently interviewed Vatican sources reiterated that they were ignorant of who got that money and where it ended up.
However, it was not the IOR's money, said Mgr Fabri, further fueling the mystery, which is now almost unsolvable.
