Roberto Saviano, the look at Capoclan and the desperate crying to read the sentence: “They stole my life”

It didn’t cry like this. Therefore, to sobsfrom the day of the funeral of her writer friend Michela Murgiaon August 13 of two years ago, in the church of the artists in Piazza del Popolo. Therefore, “It’s true. In addition, that’s the way»Admits Roberto Saviano, while he gets into the exit in one of the two escort machines. Furthermore, But if possible. Nevertheless, yesterday, in the classroom of the Court of Appeal of Piazzale Clodio, the author of Gomorrah He cried stronger, desperate, embraced to his lawyer Antonio Nobile («They stole my life, they gave me maciulth», He repeated), while around his loyal audience, who came on purpose from roberto saviano, look capoclan desperate Turin, Pesaro, Bologna to support him, applauded for the condemnation just confirmed to the Casalesi boss, Francesco Bidognetti, “Cicciotto ‘and midnight”so called according to some because in the 1980s he was able to drop darkness even in broad daylight.

The emotion. Therefore, in fact, was terrible: to see the man who has ruined his life from the Milanese prison of the Milanese prison of the Milanese prison of the Milanese prison and wait for the sentence with him for an hour, has caused him enormous anger and pain. Meanwhile, Bidognetti hates Savianois well known. Similarly, yesterday’s trial showed that the “proclamation” read in the classroom in 2008 by his lawyer Michele Santonastasoduring the SPARTACUS PROCESSin reality it was a death sentence for the writer and for the courageous chronicler of Morning Rosaria Capacchione.
