“We raped in the case of a photocopy of Grillo jr”, but the same prosecutor wants to file

Two girls who report four young people just met in a disco for gang rape, the Costa Smeralda, the ride in the car, the story of sexual violence to the prosecutors of Tempio Pausania. It looks like the photocopy of the investigation into sexual violence that sees among the suspects Ciro Grillo, the son of the guarantor of the M5S, and three of his friends. Same power of attorney, same stories, same minutes, same period (July 2019), the presence of a video and chat. But here the outcome is diametrically opposite. If for Grillo junior and his friends the Sardinian prosecutor, after almost two years of investigations, asked for indictment, for the four young people from Campania accused by the two young people the same prosecutors asked for the dismissal. The alleged victims are not there and speak of “absurd decision. Why were we not believed?”. But what happened on the night between 8 and 9 July two years ago on the beach of Baja Sardinia in Porto Cervo, a short distance from the villa where a week later the gang rape of the Italian-Norwegian girl and a ‘friend? It’s two in the morning and two friends in their twenties, who are tourist entertainers on the Costa Smeralda, go to the disco, drink two or three cocktails, and dance until four in the morning. Here they meet four young men, handsome, fit and smiling. They start talking. Then, the young people propose to the two girls to go to the beach, which is just a few minutes away. Here, however, begins, according to the girls’ story, a nightmare that lasts an hour. Group sexual violence, abuse of all kinds, according to their version. It all happens in the night between 8 and 9 July 2019, that is just eight days before the alleged gang rape that sees among the protagonists Ciro Grillo, the son of the M5S guarantor, and three other friends. Two photocopied cases, according to the victims but with two different epilogues. To read the acts there are many similarities between the two events: the meeting in the disco, four handsome guys who invite two beautiful girls to follow them. And then everything else that is found in the hundreds of pages of minutes, which the Adnkronos has seen. The rape, presumed. A video of about thirty seconds, the girls’ tears, many. The denial of the suspects who speak of “consent”. The two parallel investigations are coordinated by the same Prosecutor, that of Tempio Pausania, led by Gregorio Capasso. “There are two photocopy cases, yet for Grillo’s son the trial was asked, rightly, and for my daughter’s rapists, filing. Why? They made a big mess on Grillo’s case, rightly. the same facts, the four young people who destroyed my daughter’s existence, must be archived “, says the mother of ‘Giulia’ (the name is made up), one of the two victims. The daughter is also very angry: “I still take anxiolytics, I suffer from depression, I don’t sleep. I have nightmares. And they risk archiving. Why? I’m not there, I go on until I get justice.” This is why the two girls opposed the request for dismissal. The hearing before the GUP, different from that of the Grillo case, will be held on 14 September, after a postponement due to a lack of notifications, but for the Tempio Pausania Prosecutor’s Office there are no doubts. If for the victims and their relatives, but also for the lawyer Giovanna Porcu, the cases are the same, for the Prosecutor Gregorio Capasso here there would be no details to ask for a trial. It will now be the gup who will decide whether the four suspects deserve the trial or archiving. According to the Prosecutor “no objective elements emerged – as stated in the filing request signed by the Attorney Gregorio Capasso and prosecutor Ilaria Corbelli – suitable for blaming the perpetrators and not even sufficient to prove the perpetration of the crime in question”. In short, for the Tempio Pausania Public Prosecutor’s Office, the same investigating Grillo Junior, “the investigative activity not only did not allow for the acquisition of sufficient evidence to consider the hypotheses of crime integrated and in any case demonstrated and demonstrable, but also also highlighted a series of inconsistencies such as to induce investigators to doubt the objective correspondence to reality of the victims’ experiences, as described by the statements of the same, or at least of the objective perceptibility of the same, so as to lead to evaluate the same under two different profiles: one emotional, which sees the two girls certainly offended according to their perception of the facts and, therefore, according to a subjective elaboration of the memory. The other, critical, aseptic and rational, to which this public minister must comply in analytically evaluating the facts “. Friday, July 9, meanwhile, 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 Campania accused by the two girls. Except that the prosecutors in the latter case, unlike the Grillo-gate, have no doubts: the four suspects must not go to trial. However, there are also the reports of the psychiatrist and psychologist who have been treating Giulia for about two years. “Giulia is being treated following the traumatic outcomes of an episode of group sexual violence that took place on July 9, 2019 – writes the psychiatrist – From that moment on, the girl has had important depressive symptoms, anguish, anxiety, insomnia, traumatic dreams, social phobia, afraid of being alone, she is afraid of being raped “. And remember that he takes numerous psychiatric drugs. The psychotherapist himself: “Following a serious traumatic event (physical violence), symptoms attributable to post-traumatic stress disorder, characterized by dissociative phenomena, mood lability, nightmares, state of alarm, began to manifest. of the clinical picture made it necessary for specialist treatment in a hospital setting in December 2019 and April 2020 “. But for the prosecutors, what happened on the night of July 8 on a beach in Costa Smeralda would have nothing to do with it:” The proof of violent or threatening conduct in all its forms on the part of the suspects, on the contrary the sharing of decisions and actions between them and the offended persons appears. The elements acquired are therefore insufficient to judge the hypotheses of integrated and in any case demonstrated and demonstrable offense rubricated, due to the absence of proof of both violence or threat and the compulsion to suffer sexual violence, a constitutive element on the objective prior to the fact of crime, such as to determine first of all a lack of proof on the existence of the fact “. The Prosecutor then recalls that “the choice to go to the water belongs autonomously to the offended people” that is to say to the two girls “and was not in any way induced by the suspects” and “in secundis, even where they want to be considered integrated in this the constricting event , from the documentation in the deeds, punctum dolens of the accusatory system would still consist of the proof of the psychological element of the crime against the suspects “. Therefore, for the prosecutors there would be “obvious inconsistencies between the immortalized facts and the declarations of the victims” such as to “insinuate a series of more than reasonable doubts”. But the two victims are not there and speak of “injustice”. “I was raped by four thugs in the water, and if I rebelled I risked drowning. Maybe it was my fault? …” says Giulia with tears in her eyes.
