«With the confirmation that on May 19 he looked out the door and saw his son in the bedroom with the girl, the president of the Senate gave me a great assist, as he recognizes and confirms that the girl was in his house . This simplifies everything, because now the president of the Senate is the primary witness of this process. Not only did he declare that the girl was in his house, but also that he was in bed with his son where it ended up is not known how, since they did not see each other assiduously. The truth is coming out." This was stated by the lawyer Stefano Benvenuto , lawyer of the girl who denounced Leonardo La Russa, son of Senator Ignazio, for sexual assault .
According to La Russa senior, who intervened yesterday on the case, there would have been no crime. But the alleged victim's lawyer, interviewed by Corriere, replies: « It is not up to the second office of the state to establish whether or not an element can constitute a crime . This is the exclusive task of the judiciary to which, I repeat once again, I entrust the analysis of this case".
«Without going into the merits of the investigation covered by secrecy - continues the lawyer - the question I ask myself as a normal citizen and not as a lawyer is how a girl could have taken cocaine and not remember anything until the next day. Cocaine is known to cause excitement, not drowsiness .'
"What the magistrates will have to answer to - concludes Benvenuto - is whether she has taken substances other than cocaine without her knowledge that caused her to be so stunned that she does not remember anything and, if so, who gave them to her and if there is no the involvement of Leonardo La Russa».
