(ANSA) - Rome, October 18 - Ilaria Cucchi, sister of Roman
draughtsman Stefano killed in 2009 allegedly after police
brutality, on Thursday said Carabinieri Commander General
Giovanni Nistri had criticised three officers who have spoken
out to "break the wall of omertà" in the case when she and
Nistri met Wednesday.
"I would have expected from General Nistri I don't say an
apology because that might have been too embarrassing for him,
but certainly not 45 minutes of rambling against Casamassima,
Rosati and Tedesco, the only three public officers who have
decided to break the wall of omertà in my trial".
Riccardo Casamassima and his wife Maria Rosati, both
Carabinieri, enabled the trial to be reopened with their
statements.
They told judges they had suffered "consequences" for
speaking out about the beating Stefano Cucchi received.
Francesco Tedesco last week incriminated co-defendants
Alessio Di Bernardo and Raffaele D'Alessandro for the beating
that allegedly led to Cucchi's death.
