The words of Pietro Orlandi
Forty years of mysteries, false leads, real red herrings, silence and omissions have passed.
For 40 years, Emanuela Orlandi’s brother has never stopped looking for his sister. «There are three branches of investigation: the Prosecutor’s Office, the Vatican and the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry, but the latter has yet to start – Pietro Orlndi explained to Silvia Toffanin -. I am confident and I am convinced that we can do those things that have not been done in the past. I feel she is alive, until I find her remains. She should be 56 years old today. I hope I can find her again. Now yes, there are these investigations in the Vatican.”
Emanuela Orlandi’s brother added: «Diddi made it clear that they don’t work. The work they did was very bad: in the summer they did some scandalous things, that is, they tried to use ploys to turn against the family. A class friend from elementary school told me that Emanuela was upset one day because she had seen a person who “had hit on” the Pope. In this story there is definitely blackmail and a blackmailer.”
The appeal to Pope Francis
«Maybe the person you appointed isn’t working or isn’t capable – he explained -. Before the summer they found some tricks to unload on the family to say what had happened to slow down the parliamentary commission. I mentioned the names of people who are aware of the facts and they have not yet called them.”
The document
Silvia Toffanin read an unpublished document received from Pietro Orlandi linked to the mysterious disappearance of her sister Emanuela. «There are some papers that were found inside a Vatican safe where the expenses that the Vatican would have incurred from ’83 to ’97 are listed. But the Vatican denied it and therefore it was no longer followed. But in my opinion it is a truthful lead especially after this person contacted me. He told me that he knows this thing, that Emanuela was in London, because she was there. I was told that she was in the apartment next to hers.”
Emanuela’s brother added: «There is that indication that is in the five sheets, that is, that Emanuela would have been taken to the hostel of the Scalabrinian Fathers, but this person told me that that was the structure but they also had apartments singles and Emanuela was placed there. He told me: “I’ll only tell you the things I’ve seen”. He told me now “I don’t know anything anymore. It’s not easy to talk so freely about these things”. I hope that this person is listening and gets in touch with me. I hope that the Rome Prosecutor’s Office or the Commission will call me as soon as possible so that I can give the name and all the things that you sent me.”
