Ilaria Cucchi, the sister of a
Rome draughtsman allegedly beaten to death by Carabinieri after
being picked up on a minor drugs rap 10 years ago, told an ANSA
Forum Tuesday that she expected the Carabinieri defendants to
show "respect" for her brother Stefano and their own "honest"
colleagues.
"What must I ask of the Carabinieri on trial?" she asked.
"Nothing. Just respect for Stefano and for all their honest
colleagues who every day carry out an honest job and must not be
linked with people of that kind".
Ilaria Cucchi told the ANSA Forum that cover-ups and laying
false trails in the probe into her brother's death had started
"immediately".
"The false trails, that cost so much to our family, started
immediately after Gonnella and Manconi gave the news of his
death with their first communique, which was relaunched by
ANSA," she said.
She went on: "I'd like Stefano to be remembered as a symbol,
for everyone to remember Stefano Cucchi.
"The last people die of indifference, to give a voice and
hope to those who have no instruments to fight the battles that
are needed.
"To give a voice to the last ones, that's how I'd like my
brother to be remembered."
