Milan, 14 Mar. (LaPresse) – The defence of the young girl who sued for sexual assault Leonardo Apache La Russa, son of Senate President Ignazio La Russa, has asked the Milan Public Prosecutor's Office for ‘access to the autopsy report’ and ‘any activity carried out’ on the corpse of Carmine Gallo the former super-cop who died of a heart attack at the age of 66 on Sunday in his own home while under house arrest on 25 October for criminal conspiracy and abusive access to a computer system in the investigation into the Equalize files of Enrico Pazzali. This is what emerges from a petition filed on Thursday evening by Stefano Benvenuto, the 22-year-old's lawyer, with prosecutors Francesco De Tommasi (owner of the Equalize file) and Giancarla Serafini, who ordered an autopsy on Gallo's body performed on Wednesday at the Institute of Legal Medicine in Milan. Final results are expected in about two months. The request cites press reports published in recent weeks according to which Gallo's co-defendant and right-hand man, computer scientist Samuele Calamucci, reported in his interrogations of a telephone call to Pazzali from a certain ‘Ignazio’ in the weeks following the night of the alleged sexual assault (18-19 May 2023) to ‘carry out illicit checks on the La Russa family’. The lawyer asked for access to the forensic doctors' documentation in order to “verify” with his own consultants “the actual activity carried out by the doctors” on the “corpse” of the “deceased Carmine Gallo”. Benvenuto cites as justification for the request the ‘singular events’ linked to the ‘illegitimate consultations requested by unidentified third parties’ on ‘sensitive information concerning the son of the President of the Senate just before the events’ on 19 May 2023, as proved by an environmental interception by the Carabinieri and then the ‘sudden death of the main suspect’.
