The families of the victims of Bergamo, whose coffins were transported by army trucks in the middle of the first wave of Covid and immortalized in a photo destined to remain in history, denounced Tommaso Montesano, journalist of Libero and son of actor No Green pass, for having compared them in a tweet to the case of the "lake of the Duchess" at the time of the Moro kidnapping.

"The very serious insult to the memory and dignity of thousands of victims and their families is quite evident", reads the complaint presented this morning to the Bergamo Public Prosecutor's Office by the association that protects the relatives of the dead of Covid in the Bergamo area.

The association asks that proceedings be taken at least for aggravated defamation.

THE TWEET AND THE POLEMIC - "The coffins of Bergamo are to Covid as the lake of the Duchess is to the kidnapping Moro", wrote Montesano in reference to the false statement of the Red Brigades during the kidnapping Moro which diverted the search for the corpse of the DC leader in backdrops of the lake of the Duchessa, in the province of Rieti.

After the controversy he had deleted the tweet. Immediate reaction from the editorial board of the Libero newspaper, where Tommaso Montesano is an editor of the Politico, and a tough stance from the director Alessandro Sallusti, who explained "that he had asked the company to evaluate with the legal offices whether there are the details for a dismissal ".

The trade union body "dissociates itself from the interventions with which a colleague essentially denies a correlation between the symbolic photo of the coffins in Bergamo and Covid. And apologizes to the families of the tens of thousands of people who lost their lives due to of the pandemic. You may have the most different ideas about vaccines and the Green Pass, but the denial theories are the furthest away from the values of the Libero journalists ".
