Sardinia, Giulia’s anger: “Raped by 4 boys but pm asks for archiving, why?”

“It was terrible. Two years later I’m still terribly ill. I take psychiatric drugs, I can’t sleep. I always think about that damn night when my friend and I were raped, for over an hour, on a beach in Porto Cervo, by four boys, four thugs. They abused us. And now the Prosecutor’s Office of Tempio Pausania is asking for all four to be filed. crime. But among my rapists there is not Beppe Grillo’s son … I am very embittered. I do not know if I still believe in justice “. Giulia – the name is fictional – is the 22-year-old student from Lazio who denounced the group sexual violence she allegedly suffered, together with a friend, on the night between 8 and 9 July 2019, on a beach in Baja Sardinia, on the Costa Smeralda, exactly eight days before the alleged gang rape reported by the Italian-Norwegian girl, also on the Costa Smeralda, against Ciro Grillo, the son of the M5S guarantor and his three friends. For all of them, the Tempio Pausania prosecutor asked for indictment, while for the four boys accused by the young ‘Giulia’ the same prosecutor asked for dismissal because group violence would not have been demonstrated. She is a beautiful girl with clear eyes, Giulia. Sad eyes, though. “Since that night I suffer from chronic depression – he says in an exclusive interview with Adnkronos – I no longer want to laugh, to have fun. To go out. I can’t even make love anymore”. There are many similarities between the two cases. Here too there is a video that lasts about thirty seconds. Here too there are four guys who meet two beautiful girls in the disco. The passage in the car. In the case of Grillo up to the residence where he lives in the summer, in this case on a beach not far from the nightclub where the young people met. In both cases, the girls reported what had happened. But here, the two young Italians told everything in the aftermath of what happened. In a police station in Budoni, Sardinia. And not a week later, and in Milan, as happened in the case of the young Italian-Norwegian. “Why in our case did the same prosecutor ask for the dismissal, while for Grillo’s son the indictment was asked?”, Also asks Giulia’s mother. She is very angry. And he doesn’t hide it. While on 9 July there will be a preliminary hearing against Beppe Grillo’s son, Ciro, and his three friends, Edoardo Capitta, Vittorio Lauria and Francesco Corsiglia. All accused of gang violence. As in the case of the four campans accused by the two girls for which the prosecutor asked for the filing. To tell what would have happened in the night between 8 and 9 July 2019, that is eight days before the Grillo home-made events, is Giulia. Not without effort. “My friend and I worked in a tourist village as children’s entertainers. Around two in the morning we decided to go to the disco. The only one open in the area was the ‘Ritual’. Here we had a first cocktail. After a while ‘ we met one of the four guys. He asked us to exchange numbers and then he asked us if, after the disco, we wanted to go to the beach. I said ok. Then with my friend we started dancing alone “. So the two girls drink another cocktail, the second. And then a third glass. “I was skinny, I weighed just 47 kg – says Giulia – and I couldn’t bear alcohol much. I was half drunk and my friend was also tipsy. Then, at the end of the evening, one of the boys from Campania said ‘Let’s go to the beach’, which it was just two minutes from the disco. I think it was called ‘Beach of the Seagulls’. And we went. At first we started dancing. ” Then three other guys passed, the same ones who will then be decisive for the prosecutor’s filing request, because they are the ones who make a video of about thirty seconds, in which the two embraced girls are seen from a distance being penetrated by some of the young people under investigation. “Then those three went away”, Giulia still remembers. Shortly after, just before dawn, the two friends go for a swim. The boys take off the tracksuits they are wearing and are left with only the briefs. “I stay a bit behind, when one of the guys takes a big bite on my buttock and laughs, ‘Where did you hide this ass?’. I ran into the water without saying anything. Soon after they all got into the water. “. And here happens what was then reported by the two girls, just 24 hours later. “I remember they were already naked, only one had the underwear he took off later. We saw them come on us. We were surrounded. My friend and I hugged each other in fear.” And here the rape would take turns. The water was high. “It came up to my neck – says Giulia – I was afraid of drowning if I moved. That’s why I didn’t scream. They raped us.” “I felt paralyzed – she says – They changed between themselves, in turn, between me and my friend”. And here comes the video. Less than a minute. To shoot it, with the cell phone are the guys met before and who, heard by the prosecutors, say they heard “moans”. “Not screams for help,” they argue. “We were blocked by fear – the girl says now – I have total gaps. In these two years I have done a job with the psychologist who follows me and with my psychiatrist. My brain has removed many things”. “In order not to drown I leaned on my friend – he continues – while one of the boys raised my legs and I went down”. Almost an hour passes. Of pure terror, according to Giulia’s story. “I don’t even remember how I got out of the water – she says – I started looking for my friend. I took her hand. She was on the sand and there was a guy who put his genitals on her face”. At that moment the boys from before arrive and the two friends burst into tears. “We were naked. And they went to get our clothes, bags, cell phones.” Here is what the Prosecutor’s Office writes about the young people in the request for filing: “S. (the witness ed.) Approached them, asking what had happened, while handing them towels to cover themselves and they appeared in shock, so much so as to respond in a manner confused, crying, blaming herself and justifying herself by saying that she only went to the beach to take a bath “. “The witness then apologized to the girls for not having understood the situation and not having intervened”. Moreover, the video shot by young people who witnessed sexual intercourse in the water from afar was then shared on a whatsapp chat “which was attended by the whole group of friends on holiday in Sardinia called ‘Fiocchi Sardi'”. Giulia and her her friend return to the resort around half past six in the morning. “We went to bed and got up at two in the afternoon – he says – I was bleeding from the private parts. We were both sore. We told this to a colleague who told us to go to the emergency room, and so we did”. “But they weren’t very welcoming at the hospital. We were in shock.” “They didn’t even make us do a urine test to see if we were drugged, with the rape drug, for example. They just gave us a drip of antibiotics.” Twenty-four hours later the two young women go to the Carabinieri station in Budoni. There was a very kind marshal. “A few hours later one of the boys reported, without knowing about the lawsuit, calls Giulia on the phone.” He wanted to know if we wanted to do more ‘animation in the water’ – she says – but I replied: ‘ After what you have done to us, do you have the courage to call? ‘ And I went back to the Carabinieri to report this sms. Because in this way it was possible to identify the first of the four boys and then the other three “. This is confirmed by a colleague of the girl who attended the phone call. Giulia also remembers being heard” by the public prosecutors for more than twelve hours “. then Giulia tells of that night when she was heard by the prosecutor of Tempio Pausania: “The prosecutor kept telling me: ‘Are you sure it went like this?”. “Look, if you are not sure, you must say it.” I was stunned “. According to the alleged victim, the filing request would lack” the testimony in which a witness says that from a distance it was clear that I was not consenting “.” And there are also no reports that say that I have to take drugs later to that sexual violence. “” What more do they have in the other story? What is Grillo’s son? – he says – Perhaps in that case there is also a political question. But I don’t want to get into these speeches. I only know that I was raped but the prosecutor does not believe me. And I’m really embittered. “” My daughter is very angry – says her mother – And I want to go through with it. They have to pay for it. With our lawyer, Giovanna Porcu, they re-examined the entire file, word for word. And in our opinion the public prosecutor has forgotten to put so many things “.
