“I think – Kaili continues to Corriere – that the repentance not confessions Of Panzeri were obtained under threat. The message was clear: if you name names, we offer you a agreement and release your wife and daughter from prison. When Francesco (Giorgi, his partner, collaborator of Panzeri, ed) was arrested and they impounded the car, I thought of a car accident. Then they sent me the news that Panzeri had also been arrested. I panicked. I knew in his office that it is in the room abovewhere I never go, there was a suitcase of Panzeri and I found lots of money. I couldn’t figure out what had happened, but I wanted to get that money away from home to give it back to Panzeri, the one I thought was the owner. I have not thought in the slightest of making use of my parliamentary immunity, and this proves that I did not know absolutely what that money really represented.”
