It was "a liberation" to have been able to give one's version of events "for the first time".
Federico Apolloni
, one of the two Livorno players arrested for sexual assault against a 22-year-old American,
explained it to the lawyer Leonardo Cammarata.
The lawyer reported it, clarifying that also for
Mattia Lucarelli
the interrogation before the investigating judge, in which the two defended themselves against the accusations, was "liberating" in this sense.
The defender also said that "the Public Prosecutor's Office and we too will now carry out investigations to find" a video which, according to the defense, would exonerate them, because it could show "consenting relationships".
Also present was Cristiano Lucarelli, the former Livorno striker, on the seventh floor of the Palazzo di Giustizia in Milan where the guarantee interrogations of his son Mattia and his friend, also 23, Federico Apolloni were held.
The two, Livorno players, according to the investigations of the Milan flying squad coordinated by the prosecutor Alessia Menegazzo, are accused of group sexual violence, together with 3 other friends under investigation, for having abused the young woman loaded into the car at the end of an evening in dance club.
The violence would have been committed inside a Milanese apartment of Mattia Lucarelli, defended by the lawyer Leonardo Cammarata.
And the young woman allegedly suffered abuse while she was in a state of "psychic inferiority" because she had a few drinks that evening.
