For now, he says he is not "aware of any elements on the journey from Civitavecchia to London, with a passage through Sardinia". In forty years Pietro Orlandi has seen too many leads get lost in the mists to rely with certainty on the new revelations on the possible fate of his sister Emanuela, who disappeared into thin air on the evening of 22 June 1983.
Orlandi, reached by telephone by the editorial staff of L'Unione Sarda, can only be cautious in the face of the scenarios opened up by a confidential document, in the hands of Corriere della Sera: according to this source, the girl, then fifteen, would have already been transferred to Civitavecchia at 20, to sail on board a boat towards the dock of Santa Teresa Gallura ( HERE THE NEWS ) .
A strategic choice: «This place», according to the document, «was chosen on purpose because the radio signals of the Italian and French radio beacons crossed in that strait. This allowed, due to the obsolete technologies of the time, not to be tracked, since one radar created interference with the other". From there, then, the journey to England began. To manage the transfer there would have been sleeper agents from Gladio, a covered structure at home in Sardinia.
Orlandi said he has elements that would demonstrate the veracity of the thesis according to which his sister may have been taken to England. But to have the truth, which has been awaited for 40 years, he awaits the activities of the parliamentary commission of inquiry into the affair.
The same organ from which the author of the scoop, Corsera journalist Fabrizio Peronaci, awaits answers. Interviewed by Videolina, he said: "He could do an important job in understanding whether Gladio's devices were also involved in the kidnapping". Which could confirm the hypothesis of the passage in Sardinia.
