Why was Corporal David Tobini, killed ten years ago in Afghanistan, only awarded the silver medal for military valor “instead of the gold one?”. “What are the reasons why, during the years in which Tobini’s mother complained about the inconsistencies found in the file, no inspections were carried out?”. And again: “Following what was highlighted by the judge for the preliminary investigations”, the Ministry of Defense “does not consider starting the appropriate administrative or inspection activities against the corporal Luigi Russo regarding the inconsistencies in his statements, of those who would have hindered the investigations and of those who, responsible for delivering the letter, failed to deliver it to the mother “. These are some questions posed by a group of senators, led by the vice-president of the M5S Group Gianluca Ferrara, in the inspection union act published on 3 August. “The first corporal David Tobini was an Italian soldier who died in Afghanistan on 25 July 2011 during the joint operation conducted by Italian and Afghan forces in the area north-west of the Bala Murghab valley – the parliamentarians write in the document – His mother, Anna Rita Lo Mastro, immediately asked that clarity be made on the causes of death, highlighting contradictions between what was told and what resulted in the documents acquired. in the statements made by the eyewitness the corporal major Luigi Russo “.” On August 2, 2021 the judge for the preliminary investigations closed the proceedings having noted the prescription of the crime, although accepting the observations highlighted by the legal team of the first corporal’s family Major Tobini “, the senators say again. “In his order, the judge highlighted an inconsistency between Tobini’s actual position with respect to what was reported in the investigation file and what was stated by the Russo eyewitness, in particular he identified that the direction of the blow that hit Tobini is posterior and not as indicated by the Prosecutor’s Office, also finding an incorrect reconstruction of the trajectory of the blow and the distance by the scientific investigation department (RIS). Finally, the judge underlined that the conduct of further investigations, as requested by the injured party, whose ballistic tests never carried out, would have been useful and relevant if it intervened prior to the prescription of the crime “. The senators then recall a detail that emerged recently, a letter” written by hand by the soldier who fell in Bala Murghab in July 2011 “which” would have been made to disappear “. “It was a soldier who talked about it who allegedly confided to his colleagues that he had found the letter and that ‘it was delivered’ but that ‘it was never delivered'”. “It appears from the documents that the letter would have been inventoried as a” personal letter “on 14 September 2011 by the commission appointed to prepare the list of David Tobini’s bills to be returned to his mother. Anna Rita Lo Mastro had already reported that this letter, although present in the list of the soldier’s personal effects, had not been delivered to her. However, the possibility that it was “made to disappear” would assume connotations of absolute and extreme gravity. ” , a formal request for assessment to the Ministry, so that it can proceed to carry out all the related investigations also in virtue of the basic rules concerning the obligation of custody belonging to the same. However, this has never been answered “. That’s why the parliamentarians ask “if the ministers in address is aware of the facts exposed”
