Morgan's lawyers, Rossella Gallo and Leonardo Cammarata, have issued a press release “in the interest of Mr. Marco Castoldi, aka “Morgan”” regarding the stalking complaint against their client made by Angelica Schiatti, the messages that were published by Everyday occurrence and the echo they had.
We publish it below in full, in italics. The press release refers to a hearing to find an agreement between the parties. It has been set for September 13, 2024. In an interview given to FanpageSchiatti's lawyer, Maria Nirta, said Morgan's defense offered 15,000 euros in compensation: “We did not accept. My client feels more protected by a sentence. Furthermore, the law does not provide for conciliation for similar crimes.”
With regard to the article published yesterday in Il Fatto Quotidiano, taken up by various newspapers, as well as the press releases via social media, we believe it is our duty to provide the following clarifications.
The criminal proceedings were initiated by a complaint filed more than 4 years ago by Ms. Angelica Schiatti for alleged crimes of stalking and defamation: this proceeding was already known to the press which had already had the opportunity to talk about it. The alleged conduct, on which only the Judge can rule, contested to Mr. Castoldi dates back to 2020-2021: these are therefore events dating back to 3-4 years ago.
No other type of crime (as has been read for example in the press and on social media of “revenge porn” or “mistreatment”) is contested to Mr. Castoldi and even less alleged conduct after September '21.
It is evident that, at a time when nothing has happened from either a factual or procedural point of view, the target of the recent media wave is today the Judge of the trial, “guilty” of having set a hearing to verify the possibility provided by law of reaching an agreement between the parties with respect to crimes prosecutable upon complaint of the party.
It is very serious that the magistrate is attacked as a person, arbitrarily questioning his actions without having any knowledge or competence in the matter, and above all creating media pressure to influence his actions, accusing him of carrying out the “secondary victimization” of the offended person.
The trial has not yet begun: nothing has yet been examined, much less proven; it therefore seems incorrect to present absolute truths today even before the trial verification: what is certain is that the various magistrates who have dealt with the case up to now have never considered it necessary to apply red code precautionary measures, evidently because they have not identified any danger for the injured party, just as the presumption of innocence is equally certain, as a constitutionally guaranteed principle.
In these frantic hours, several reconstructions of the facts have appeared that do not correspond to the truth, functional only to provide a totally distorted image of Mr. Castoldi, seriously offensive to the reputation and personal, artistic and professional image of the same, with undue repercussions on his private as well as public, working sphere, of which the competent judicial authorities will be involved.
