The new documents filed are added to the seized material and to the computer material acquired during the investigations already available to the defenses. “52 DVDs between audio and video have been filed concerning all the hearings made – the lawyer Luigi Panella explains to Adnkronos , defender of Crassus – but, as far as we know, there would be cuts. Apparently they haven’t deposited all the audio ”. The cuts, according to Panella, would also concern the ‘queen test’, that is Perlasca’s statement: “We have several Perlasca reports from which they are not omitted, but they told us that the statements in the video are not integral because some of them have been omitted. that concerned other proceedings “, explains the lawyer, who makes it known that the defenses are still in the evaluation phase of what happened and stresses that” from the paper reports filed by the Promotor of Justice there is no mention of omissions “. ‘Adnkronos, however, of the more than one hundred hours of audio and video deposited only 2% would be omitted, because it is linked to facts not pertinent to the process. : the three hours of spontaneous declarations made by the prelate to the Vatican prosecutors without the presence of his lawyer on 31 August 2020.
