He asked to be tried with an abbreviated rite (behind closed doors and which provides a discount of one third on the sentence) but conditional on the deposition of his consultant-doctor and the production of documents, Alberto Genovese, a web entrepreneur accused on the charge of having raped, after having made them unconscious with a mix of drugs, two models: one, 18, during a party organized on 10 October two years ago in her penthouse overlooking the Duomo and renamed 'Terrazza Sentimento', the other , 23, his guest in a luxury villa in Ibiza the previous July.
The defense will file with the judge documentation, such as a psychiatric report, medical reports and toxicological analyzes and material extracted from devices and social profiles.
Cards he requested to be acquired in the shortened process.
The entrepreneur, who is detoxifying himself in a home-based clinic, was in the courtroom this morning in front of the GUP, who will decide on the request for a conditional abbreviated document on June 1st.
Genovese, accompanied by his lawyers, did not make statements to the many reporters and TV operators who followed him as he left the courtroom on the seventh floor of the Palace of Justice.
The two girls victims of the alleged abuses remain in the trial as civil parties and no negotiations on any compensation outside the trial have been successful.
Her ex-girlfriend, accused of complicity in the violence on the Spanish island, also asked to be put on trial in abbreviated form.
By 1 June the other parties will be able to submit observations on the documents that the defense of Genovese will deposit and to which the same defense has conditioned the request for an alternative procedure.
Compensation for a total of about 155 thousand euros to the two victims.
The defense of Alberto Genovese would have offered them today in the hearing, before the gup of Milan Chiara Valori.
Both, through their lawyers, refused the proposals, choosing to remain civil parties for any damages in the trial.
In particular, Genovese would have offered 130 thousand euros to the young 18-year-old woman, assisted by the lawyer Luigi Liguori and who has already had to face, from what has been learned, costs of almost 25 thousand euros just for medical treatment.
Another offer of 25 thousand euros, on the other hand, came to the 23-year-old girl, but even in this case she was rejected.
Only one of the civil parties' associations accepted compensation as an advance payment.
