Vatican, Milanese: “I’m not a repentant, every step agreed with the Pope”

“Once again, after having read the chronicles relating to the investigation in progress, I am forced to correct the readings that some press organs insist on making, incomprehensibly distorting the facts. I reiterate that my role has been definitively clarified by the Vatican judiciary, and my position has always been transparent and limpid, in every passage of this story, as can be seen from the faithful reconstruction of the investigators “said Giuseppe Milanese, president of the Osa cooperative at Adnkronos. “For the facts in question – explains Milanese – I limited myself to providing, at the explicit request of the Holy Father and for a limited period of time (from 17 December 2018, the day I learned of the building in London, to 5 January 2019) a consultancy to find a solution to the problem that had been created. To the Vatican magistrates I reported the events of those 3 weeks in which, I want to reiterate, my every step had been agreed with the Pontiff in the most total and absolute transparency “. And again: “In this year I sued some journalists who tried to splash mud on me and who, not content with not seeing me among the indicted, gave me the label of ‘repentant’. I will not hesitate – continues Milanese all ‘ Adnkronos – to do it again to protect my name, my professionalism and, above all, the long-standing personal friendship that binds me and my family to the Holy Father “
