Gang rape in Palermo, infinite horror. The defense accuses the girl of having wanted to be with seven men, while shameful videos are being shot on tik tok. The State must understand that this is a social emergency,

it is not just a criminal act of unprecedented violence against a human being but a fight against a state of mind, a social and mindset that is creeping and creeping like the videos on tik tok. which they then say would not belong to the boys. They cry, they apologize to the victim, they say they are sorry.

At the end of the new round of interrogations for the rape in Palermo, three of the seven suspects limited themselves, in fact, to confirming only what the horror video unearthed by the carabinieri made indelible.

Impossible to deny the evidence of the images. And then they explain that they had sexual intercourse with the 19-year-old girl, but they deny that they took turns raping her in a dark corner of the city.

In their defensive strategy they move as a whole, compact as they were on the night of the violence, which took place last July 7 in Palermo, writes Il Mattino. The goal is to pick the accusation, reversing the perspective.

In the answers provided to the judge for preliminary investigations Marco Gaeta, the nineteen year old becomes the protagonist in the negative. Not only is she not a victim, she is even described as the instigator of the whole affair.

She would have been the one to invite them “to have fun all together”, to “guide them” to the place of the rape, to choose which peers to have sexual relations with first. The three suspects arrived, one after the other, yesterday morning in the new Palace of Justice. LOOK DOWN

LOOK DOWN Tracksuit, T-shirt and tennis shoes. They have the face of a thousand other guys. They keep their gaze down as the prison officers escort them to the courtroom.

An hour of interrogation each to try to deny the content of the images taken with a cell phone by one of them. They didn’t even stop when the girl fell to the ground, yelling “enough”. They helped her up and continued, mocking her.

“I apologize to the girl. Sorry», Christian Maronia repeats in tears. He says he understood that he was “ruined”, that he found himself in a situation bigger than him. Then the version already heard in the other interrogations begins. The 19-year-old was aware of what was happening.

From the very beginning, when they met in the Vucciria district. Maronia does not know the victim, she had seen her in some sexual videos that had been shown to him by her friend Angelo Flores, the friend who filmed the gang violence.

And here is a key defensive passage: painting a different personality of the girl than the one that has emerged so far. Starting with the hypothesis that her plan was to get her drunk. No constraints, they would all drink together and the girl, met there by chance, had started drinking before she arrived. Maronia tries to sew on himself a good boy image that clashes with the video.

She says she invited friends to stop by when she realized the 19-year-old was sick. And yet they continued. He adds that he went back because “we couldn’t leave her there”. A few meters further on, however, the girl was dumped on the street.

DEGENERATED SITUATION ′′ ′′ I’ve done a big f… ta “, says Elio Arnao. But he underlines: «he decided everything she». Where to withdraw, which road to take to avoid being seen by someone who knows her well and works in the historic centre, which guys to start group sex with. Faced with the protests and the horrible force of the video, he plays the card of the “degenerate situation” due to alcohol and smoking a joint.

“I made a mistake in not leaving,” says Samuele La Grassa when it’s his turn to answer questions from prosecutor Monica Guzzardi. He reproaches himself for the mistake of not having understood what was about to happen, of having accidentally ended up in a bigger story than himself.

La Grassa did not have sexual relations, according to the accusation, however, already with his presence she would have contributed to the plan begun in the heart of old Palermo and ended in the worst possible way at the Foro Italico.

An accusation that has withstood the examination of the Court of Review which yesterday rejected the request for release of Cristian Barone. The same thing happened to two other arrested.

Violence shocked the city, amid proclamations by the suspects on social media branded as false by their families – “Prison is passing through, you come back stronger than before”, or again “There’s some girl who wants to go out with me” – and who launches invectives.

«It would be a great remedy, finally, to emasculate the male bearer of a fallacious phallus for sanitary and ascetic purposes. Then, this kind of males would sing sweet melodies to the sky with their children’s voices», writes theater director and playwright Emma Dante.
