The Orlandi family in a rage after the indiscretions, at the center of a report on Tg La7, on an exchange of letters between Cardinal Casaroli (who died in 1998) and a South American priest in which there is talk of the alleged abuses of an uncle - Mario Meneguzzi - against Natalina, older sister of Emanuela, the girl vanished into thin air in Rome in 1983.
Letters that would have come to the attention of both the Vatican prosecutors and the Roman prosecutors who have resumed the investigation into Emanuela's disappearance.
For Pietro Orlandi, brother of Emanuela and Natalina, it would be, in no uncertain terms, "a carrion".
To refute Pietro organized a press conference with his sister Natalina, who denies having been the target of her uncle's harassment, except for "some small verbal advances in 1978, a little gift, some appreciation: but when I made it clear that there was no it was no chance it all ended there.
According to the Orlandis, the intention behind the revelations is "to pass off Emanuela's disappearance as a 'familiar affair', thus exculpating the Vatican just as a decision has to be made on the parliamentary commission of inquiry".
Pietro then launched a new appeal to the parliamentarians, asking for the commission to be done as soon as possible : «It must go on. Why doesn't the Vatican want it? Because he cannot control it unlike what was done with the Rome prosecutor's office".
