"We have been stolen, we have been stolen, you have to come." It is 3.30 pm on 14 August when a call arrives at 112.
Petre, a 20-year-old Romanian who has just come out of Luca Morisi's house in the barchessa di Belfiore, in the countryside around Verona, calls.
The young man calls for help and make a complaint. When the military arrives, they identify him with another Romanian boy.
Petre says he was robbed by that man, the former spin doctor of the League, with whom the other boy spent a night of paid sex and with whom they consumed cocaine.
This is the beginning of the end for Matteo Salvini's former head of communication.
THE STORY - The story of the boys continues: for them the invitation to spend an evening with Morisi, for a total fee - explains Petre - between 3 and 4 thousand euros. The evening had begun without problems but "at a certain point - he said - I felt very ill because of the substances I took, I ran away from the house and called the police".
There are two phone calls made to 112 from which it emerges, however, that the young man does not say he feels bad but, in fact, that he has suffered a theft. Probably because, he himself tells it, Morisi would not have paid the agreed fee. "The pact is that he wanted to use drugs because he wanted to have fun, you pay for these things" but that money never came because "the card was blocked or something like that, there was something wrong".
The fact is that when the carabinieri arrive - no routine checks, therefore - they find the two boys and the former Northern League social manager on the street. When they search the car, they find the bottle with the alleged "drug in rape" in the backpack of the twenty-year-old: "It comes from Morisi's house, that stuff is his but I don't know who put it in my backpack, one of the two who was with me I would say "says the Romanian.
The defense of the former social manager of the League has denied several times: "That bottle was not his". Then at home they find two grams of cocaine. At that point, both are charged with suspicion of the transfer and possession of drugs. No crime is instead hypothesized against the other boy, whom Morisi had contacted on a dating chat.
Now there are many doubts to be clarified. And among the hypotheses circulating in these hours there is also the one that Morisi actually ended up in a trap, a victim of his private weaknesses that forced him to resign.
Among other things, the case broke out on the eve of the elections in a League already divided on numerous political issues.
"This story of Morisi seems to me a very suspicious story - the comment of Matteo Salvini -, they attack him to attack me: it is an investigation without evidence, a private error that has no criminal relevance. If it ended without any crime, no trial, who Does it restore his dignity? The drug dealers are sellers of death. Is making love for a fee a political question? ".
And among the latest comments on the affair, that of the bishops also breaks out. “I will not enter into the merits of the specific event - says the vice president of the CEI, Erio Castellucci - but one cannot engage in politics by attacking. We need to reason, we need to put real questions on the table, without personal attacks but with data, arguments, reasoning. We must recover this confrontation, even tough, but always respectful of people ".
