The former director of TG4, Emilio Fede , was arrested in Naples for evasion from house arrest. He was having dinner on the waterfront last night with his wife, former Senator Diana De Feo, on the occasion of his 89th birthday. Faith would not have waited for the surveillance judge's authorization to move from Milan to Naples. Faith, sources close to him point out, would have communicated his move to the carabinieri of Segrate.
"It was terrifying . I was arrested for evasion because I didn't wait for the provisions for social services. A captain of the carabinieri showed up in a restaurant, very kind, with three soldiers, as if I were the worst of the criminals", Emilio Fede says to Ansa .
Following a sentence Emilio Fede, after serving 7 months at home, would have had to complete the sentence imposed on him with 4 years of social services.
Faith had just arrived in Naples at the invitation of a group of his journalist friends with whom he was to celebrate his 89th birthday, which falls just tomorrow. Faith, contacted by phone, speaks from the hotel on the waterfront where he found accommodation yesterday and where, again yesterday, he was accompanied by the carabinieri who gave the journalist precise rules to be respected.
"Six days ago, - the former TG4 director tells us - the Milan Surveillance Court, precisely the magistrate La Rocca, informed me that I had been granted an early release. They are really crazy things, I was eating a pizza with my wife and I had just arrived in Naples ". "You think - the journalist underlines - that I was even denied to open the window. I want to remember that I fell and now I walk leaning on a stick. Imagine how dangerous I can be. I am sorry for justice and for social life since I don't I can't even look out the window. "
