Last Saturday, however, the criminal lawyer was not granted this possibility. So the lawyer asked to postpone the interrogation, drawing up a report together with the investigators in which the defense request and the response obtained by the judicial police are put in black and white.

“The interrogation rules establish that the evidence is disclosed – says Roberto De Vita – at present, however, the situation does not allow us to know the evidence against the accused. If the prosecution had access to the documents and we did not there would be a vulnerable information asymmetry on the exercise of defense “, concludes the criminal lawyer.

In the meantime, the mystery surrounding some identity documents found inside a wallet in Biot’s office has been revealed. A person, born in 1988, allegedly lost his wallet by making a regular complaint.
