THE RESCUE (with DELAYED BURST)

The lawyer under investigation isthe person who provided assistance to Vincenzo Leone, lawyer and friend of the victims, who was with the girl. First he would have walked away, then he would have turned back, although it is not clear why he retraced his steps. The kayak with Leone and Frazzica was at least one hundred meters from the coast overlooking the sea and 200 meters from the beaches. The boat that overwhelmed them may instead have been too close to the coast, which is prohibited by law

The security cameras of Mattarella’s villa, Villa Rosebery, were also acquired, since the girl was hit quite close to where the residence overlooks.
