"One day Massimo took my wife around with his Maserati". Meanwhile, other details emerge from the account provided to the prosecutor by Malaj. The man was convinced that between his wife and De Santis there was a clandestine relationship that had been going on for over a year, which began after an accident. According to the confessed offender Tefta and Massimo "from there they met" and "started talking". Malaj allegedly told the prosecutor that his wife and friend often ate together and also recorded some lunches between the two with his mobile phone.
Regarding the video shot after the massacre he says: "I did it like this, there is no particular reason". He also confesses that he called his brother immediately to tell him what he had done, but the latter would only show up after the ambulance arrived.
