Accused of corruption and disclosure of official secrets: in a video the passage of bribes hidden in a newspaper<\/strong><\/div>\n

ROME \u2013 The Press \u2013 <\/em>Corruption and disclosure of official secrets: a Roman investigating judge, Massimo Battistini, has indicted 8 officials of the Italian drug agency (Aifa) and 8 entrepreneurs in the sector. The investigation was launched in Turin by the then deputy prosecutor Raffaele Guariniello and by prosecutors Sara Panelli and Gianfranco Colace: it was the lawyers of some suspects who requested that the Rome prosecutor should deal with it as a matter of competence, and so it was. <\/p>\n

A video shot by the carabinieri in 2008 was also sent to the capital with the documents of the investigation: the camera focuses on the iron gate of a condominium on the outskirts of Rome. You can see a gentleman in a gray suit shaking hands with another man in a sweater who has obviously just come down from home. The two chat briefly, then the first passes the folded copy of a newspaper to the other. Handshake, the gentleman in gray leaves the scene and the other, a big smile on his lips, goes down into the street, crosses it and goes away towards a garden, holding the folded newspaper tightly under his arm. <\/p>\n

The gentleman in the gray suit was the entrepreneur Riccardo Braglia, owner of the Swiss pharmaceutical company Hellsinn, the one in the sweater was Dr. Pasqualino Rossi, the Italian representative at EMEA (the European drug agency) until the scandal caused by his arrest: the industrialist had placed an envelope with the bribe in the folded newspaper; pocketed it, Rossi went to the bank to pay the money. The carabinieri filmed him up to the counter and ascertained that his account was in the red before the videoed payment.<\/p>\n

The video represents the gem in the voluminous documentation collected by the prosecutors first in Turin and later in Rome: it is deposited in the registry with all the other documents of the investigation available to the defendants' lawyers in view of the preliminary hearing (now concluded) and the future trial.<\/font><\/div>\n
