"We firmly dissociate ourselves from what has been reported by some media outlets , which include quotes improperly attributed to the same family members, which were never actually spoken by them," the statement continues, referring to quotes that appeared in national newspapers and which allegedly called into question the actions of the Carabinieri . "These reconstructions in no way correspond to their intentions and represent an unacceptable distortion of reality."
The family concludes by placing its complete and unconditional trust in the judiciary , which it intends to fully rely on. Therefore, we ask that you respect the grief of the family , who wish to celebrate their loved one's funeral peacefully.
