The first hearing of the trial ended in Cosenza: the objections of the defense, which had also requested the annulment of the proceedings, were rejected. Next hearing on November 25th
The trial for the death of Donato ‘Denis’ Bergamini, the football player of the rossoblù club hit by a truck, in circumstances that have remained obscure until now, on 18 November 1989 on Strada Statale 106, began today before the Court of Assizes of Cosenza. On the dock, and present in the courtroom, Bergamini’s ex-girlfriend, Isabella Internò, accused of complicity in murder, aggravated by premeditation and futile reasons, and indicted on 20 September by the Gup of Castrovillari Fabio Lelio Festa who accepted the request of the prosecutor Luca Primicerio.
Thesis never accepted
–
Bergamini was run over by a truck driven by Raffaele Pisano, then acquitted of manslaughter charges when the footballer’s death was filed as suicide (the hypothesis is that Bergamini threw himself under the truck after arguing with his girlfriend) . Thesis, that of suicide, never accepted by the family of the football player who has always maintained that Bergamini was instead killed by his girlfriend (the only defendant) in competition with people whose identity has so far remained unknown. The footballer’s family is represented by the lawyer Fabio Anselmo, the same defender of the Cucchi family, who said: “We never thought that the trial could be canceled, we started off on the right foot”. Anselmo also brought an analogy with the Cucchi trial, during the trial, and the defense protested. “The Cucchi trial is scary, I understand, because the medico-legal problems are similar – said Anselmo – the difference is that in this Bergamini affair the truth was hidden from the beginning”. Defense lawyers refused to make any statements.
Witnesses

In today’s hearing, the president of the Court of Assizes, Paola Lucente, after having rejected the defense’s request to cancel the proceedings, has set the resumption of the trial for next 25 November. There will be over 200 witnesses parading in front of the court.
