Claudio Foti, the psychotherapist owner of the well-known Turin clinic 'Hansel & Gretel', was sentenced to four years in the shortened rite for the illicit affair of Bibbiano and Val d'Enza.

The prosecutor had asked for six years of sentence for the accusations of abuse of office, procedural fraud and very serious injuries (hypothesis of crime formulated for the alleged psychic alteration of a patient).

The mayor of Bibbiano Andrea Carletti was indicted for abuse of office, but acquitted of the false accusations. It is the decision of the Gup of Reggio Emilia, on illicit custody in Val d'Enza. In practice, the process will have to verify whether any administrative illegitimacy has been committed in the award of the contract concerning the therapeutic service for the care of minors by the Union of Municipalities. "His position - commented the lawyer Giovanni Tarquini and Professor Vittorio Manes, who defend him - has been further lightened".

"We remain firmly convinced that Mayor Carletti has always acted in total good faith, as we hope to prove in court", say the defenders. "We take note - they continue - of the fact that the judge deemed it necessary to order the indictment for the accusation of abuse of office, but above all of the fact that Carletti was acquitted of further disputes, and in particular of the alleged forgery, considered by the gup evidently never committed by the mayor. Basically, the position of the mayor Carletti is further lightened, and the process - as far as he is concerned - will have to verify not only whether some administrative illegitimacy has been committed in the assignment of the contract concerning the therapeutic service for the care of minors by theUnion of Municipalities, as, above all, who is responsible for any illegitimacy, that is, who had concrete awareness of any irregularities, and who instead acted in good faith ".

"I am confident that this sentence can be revised in the appeal, which I consider unjust. I think I have behaved correctly in science and conscience. I would do everything I have done again", says Foti.
