Spinelli Lawyers: “He wanted to preserve companies and family”
“We would have liked to face the debate certain of proving the innocence of Aldo Spinelli“. This is what lawyers Alessandro Vaccaro and Andrea Vernazza declared after the decision to plea bargain.
“But the prospect of facing, moreover as the only defendant, a trial that would have dragged on for years, on the advice of the defense, made our client’s primary desire to protect the companies and the family from the media damage that would have resulted prevail”, continues the lawyers’ note.
“For this reason – the defenders conclude – albeit reluctantly, Spinelli has decided to accept the proposal of plea bargain advanced by the prosecution which, at the same time, recognizes that all the administrative practices which are the subject of the criminal proceedings were correct and legitimate in compliance with the public interest”.
