The entrepreneur presented himself in front of the judge, however asking for brief spontaneous statements: defended by the lawyer Franco Villa, Deiana said that his relations with the regional councilor (former president of the Budget Commission) had the contours of a consultancy, pointing out that he was acting to protect the interests of construction companies. As for the exchange, he said it was perfectly in line with the mechanisms of the market, so much so that it was also included in the bank's financial plan.
