“We were passed off as monsters, we only talked about the White brothers. Whatever we said we were attacked.” And also: “I told the truth but I was not believed. I just gave Willy a push and a kick in the side. Belleggia (another defendant ed) is not telling the truth and should take responsibility for her.” These are some of the most relevant sentences pronounced before the Court of Assizes of the Court of Frosinone, by Marco Bianchi accused, together with his brother Gabriele and others, of the death of Willy Monteiro Duarte, the 21-year-old killed in Colleferro on the night between 5 and 6 September last year after a violent beating. In the courtroom, in addition to the Bianchi brothers, there are Francesco Belleggia and Mario Pincarelli, the other members of the group who ended up in prison and on trial for voluntary murder.First to speak: Marco Bianchi
In this story “a boy died – he added – but if I had hit him seriously I would never have left, leaving him there. If I was wrong I would have no problem admitting it”. It does not seem the same bold Marco Bianchi champion of MMA (mixed martial arts discipline) painted for months by the news the one who is now speaking before the Court of Assizes of the Court of Frosinone where the hearing of the trial for the murder of the 21 year old Willy. He apologizes to the prosecutor, permission to speak, in one phase of the exam he defines himself as “a simple boy, divided between sports and friends”. “When I went to Colleferro and saw the group of people, I got upset because I thought my friend was arguing, I hit Willy because he was standing there in front of Omar (Sahbani, ed). I know the consequences of a kick in the chest, I would never have allowed myself. He fell but immediately got up again. Then I went away from the gardens. I didn’t realize that something serious had happened because I would never leave with the car. While we were in the car a friend of mine turned to Belleggia (another defendant ed) saying you are a piece of m. why did you hit that boy. “Gabriele Bianchi
“I noticed that there was media hatred towards us. The scum of Colleferro spoke ill of us: it is as if everyone wanted to put something against us; for this reason everyone says that I hit Willy, because they were influenced by the media. Even our friends were influenced by the media situation. In part I can understand them, I know they were threatened just to be our friends. ” And then, he adds to the accusations against Belleggia already made by his brother Marco: “I saw him throw a left kick in the chin at Willy, when he was still standing, and then hit him again when he was already on the ground. given another kick in the neck without mercy. Marco and I would never have done it, hitting a boy on the ground and being infamous is not done “.The role of Belleggia
The reconstruction made by the Bianchi brothers was then rejected by Belleggia himself who in the course of his examination stated that it was Marco who raged on Willy. “I never hit him. Marco Bianchi gave him a volley of punches and kicks, even after he got up”, he said and added that the quarrel had broken out between a boy and his friend Mario Pincarelli, also ‘he ended up on trial. “We didn’t confront each other after the events, but I remember well that in the car Marco said:” Anyway, rega ‘, that boy went into a coma “. These are the words of Francesco Belleggia, answering the questions of his defense lawyer Vito Perugini.” He then told us to say that they hadn’t really gotten out of the car, that they had just come to pick us up. We retorted by saying that it would not have been possible given the many people who were in the gardens that evening and had seen them. Then – Belleggia continues – replied that everyone took responsibility for what he had done, he of football, we of the other shots. But I told him it wasn’t right, that we hadn’t done anything. Marco then told me that it would be better if I went home, Gabriele also invite me to do the same. “While he is speaking, Gabriele in the cell puts his hand on his forehead and looks up indignantly.Pincarelli
Mario Pincarelli, co-accused with the Bianchi brothers and Marco Belleggia in the trial for the murder of Willy Monteiro Duarte, made spontaneous statements to clarify his position. “That evening I was drunk – he continues – I remember seeing the Bianchi brothers go away, I left with my friend, but I stopped to go to the Bianchi brother’s place, seeing them there, to dispose of a little alcohol. Omar was angry with me. I heard Gabriele and Marco tell Belleggia several times to take responsibility for football, he was worried, I was calm. ” “When the carabinieri arrived, they talked to Gabriele and Marco, nobody told me to go to the barracks so I went home. Shortly after, Belleggia called me – continues Pincarelli – told me to go. At that point I said that I would take responsibility for a football, if that was what we were there for. I just wanted to go home. I had absolutely no idea what actually happened. “And he concludes:” I am very sorry for Willy’s family, nobody wanted to kill. “Willy’s mother
On the other side, opposite the Bianchi brothers’ cages, sit Lucia and Melania Monteiro, respectively Willy’s mother and sister. “Mrs. Monteiro was disconcerted by the words expressed today in the courtroom by the Bianchi brothers and the other defendants. Words to which, however,” we were prepared “. This was stated by the lawyer Domenico Marzi, lawyer of the young man’s mother.” The responsibility lies – adds the criminal lawyer -, as did the Bianchi brothers and an initiative that I consider singular. The many witnesses heard during the trial have in fact provided clear elements to the Court on what happened that tragic night “. For the prosecution all four defendants that night” wanted to kill “,
