Case Orlandi, Capaldo: “Vatican said it was willing to find Emanuela’s body”

“The Vatican asked me for a meeting, which had as its object the request to find a system for not keeping the press attention in a negative way on the Vatican. On that occasion, I asked for the possibility of the discovery of the body of Emanuela Orlandi or at least of to know, to know its end. They showed themselves available, and told me ‘we will let you know’ “. The sensational revelation comes from the magistrate Giancarlo Capaldo, during the presentation of his second novel ‘The missing girl’ inspired by the events of the kidnapping of the young woman, whom Capaldo has followed since 2009 for four years. Read also “I made that request – Capaldo reveals – because I knew that knowing the truth takes away the torment of the family, I knew it from experience. What we do not accept is not death, but of not knowing what has happened to our loved ones. They do. they made available to make every possible effort, thus admitting that it was a viable solution “, he continued. “There was a historical moment in which the Vatican, which until then had chosen the path of postponing knowledge of the whole affair to the Greek Kalends – the strategy used almost all the time – used another strategy, namely that of taking some actions towards the possibility of allowing the family to embrace Emanuela’s remains “. This ‘change of strategy’ “lasted a month, and it took place precisely when I was the protagonist”, said the magistrate. “We intend to immediately contact the Vatican judicial authority, to ask for clarification after the revelations of the magistrate Giancarlo Capaldo , in order to know under what title this meeting took place, who were the interlocutors, under what title they spoke “. The lawyer of Emanuela Orlandi’s family Laura Sgrò tells Adnkronos, adding: “We will act immediately, we have been waiting for this moment for years. After 38 years, the family has the right to know the truth.” “The Vatican has betrayed Emanuela and my family, has turned their backs on us. I personally am convinced that Pope Francis is aware of the story, because he is the one who most of all has raised a wall on the affair. Now he should take an important step to get us back the body, because it would be a demonstration of having a Christian conscience: he represents Jesus Christ on earth, and they should not continue to keep everything hidden as they have been doing for 38 years “. To say it, in a heartfelt outburst, is Emanuela Orlandi’s brother, Pietro. “This story cannot remain hidden for life – urges Orlandi, who has always struggled for justice – We have always given the utmost trust to the Vatican, but with time I was convinced and that the question was born in there. Who knows about things and says nothing is an accomplice, and there are a lot of accomplices in there “. For Emanuela’s brother the truth “is too heavy for the image of the church, everything would come down, and this is the reason why the truth never came out. But it is time for the Vatican to take a serious position”.
