Emanuela Orlandi, The new documents: the role of his father Ercole and the negotiation between the Holy See and Italy on the Ior-Ambrosian scandal
The background revealed by the Appunto del Sismi. By 30 June 1983 the negotiation on the $ 250 million « hole » had to be closed, which however ended. « This is why the girls were held back »
The role of Ercole OrlandiEmanuela’s father, and the « very important » news in his possession, relating to ecclesiastical issues; the possibility of payment, given already for a reasonable one redemption; The hand passing of the hostage (the fifteen year old kidnapped the month before) from one « band » to another, also behind a balance in money. The SISMI document dated 27 July 1983 emerged in these hours relaunches yellow of the « girl with the band » who disappeared on June 22, 1983, crediting a conspiracy motive already taken into consideration in several phases of the investigations. Careful reinterpretation of the « precisely », moreover, the authentic nature of the dispute And above all, the possible Post in play: a game linked to the historical context and to the current geopolitical tensions, aroused by politics firmly anti -communist by Karol Wojtyla, from many opposed to the Leonine walls, and by the serious Financial scandals, which led to the bankruptcy of Banco Ambrosiano and the removal of the Head of the IorPaul Casimir Marcinkus. Here, point by point, the new reading keys.
The delicate work of Hercules
The aura from spy story in the Orlandi-Gregori case (Here an analysis in 10 points) has always been linked to the Presence of the secret services in Emanuela’s house from the first days, from the weight exercised in the management of theaffaire by the lawyer Gennaro Egidioin fact imposed on the family, and also by some statements by Ercole Orlandiwho spoke certainly not as a profane, considered his very delicate work, papal with direct access to the person of the pontiff.
« I betray who I served »
Emanuela was targeted for a blackmail linked to paternal activity? A secret unconfessable guarded by Hercules, not because of his fault, he placed himself and his loved ones in danger? This let The first phrase of the Apple Sismi: «source of the weapon reported that Emanuela Orlandi’s father would be a character aware of very important news within the Vatican « . A scenario, on the other hand, at the time considered more than likely (so much so that the investigation was assigned to a Expert magistrate of anti -terrorism such as Domenico Sica), and that it was Hercules himself who credited. In the final phase of his life, when the resignation He had taken over, Orlandi senior In fact, every hesitation won and brought out the fake beards openly: «Emanuela was kidnapped by the secret services. I’m sure it’s alive « declared the papal postman in an interview with Courier of 11 May 2001.
What did this certainty come from? Which background knew and was forced to silence? A few days before he died, in March 2004, the Papal Mess was even more explicit: «I was betrayed by those I’ve always served », He confided to family members, as then told by his son Pietro, who thus deduced: «These words apply to me more than a test on responsibility of those who stole his life in Emanuela ». Today, in the light of the « top secret » signed sismi, the hypothesis of kidnapping to be framed in serious tensions in the shade of the dome In short, it seems to strengthen.
The search for the motive
The other novelty concerns the Possible motive for the removal from Emanuela’s house and, a month earlier, by Mirella Gregori (here in 10 points because the two yellows are connected). « There would have already been a redemption payment » and « the group of kidnappers would have sold the hostage to another band »says the « reserved » of 27 July 1983, then drawn up in hottest period of girls research. It should be considered that the July 20 The first had expired ultimatum on the life of the young Orlandi and who had been the day before Famous call of the « American »to dictate the conditions of the release to the Secretary of State Agostino Casaroli.
Well, if redemption was spoken what the matter of blackmail was? What kind of Sottoral negotiations they took place, in the aftermath of the seizure of the daughter of a Vatican employee in possession of « sensitive » news? And because the figure of Emanuela was « heavy » to the point of justifying the « Sale of the host»Between obviously accomplices bands? Of possible answers if find different in the documents of the judicial investigations stored (1983-1997 and 2008-2015) and in recent ones of the parliamentary commission installed at Palazzo San Macuto, but A trace that brings straight to the double political-hall motion exists and could finally turn on a decisive lighthouse on the forty -year mystery.
The examination of the chronology
Attention to the chronology of the facts. Emanuela Orlandi does not return home the June 22, 1983after telling the sister that he received a job offer (improbable, 375 thousand lire for just one afternoon) from the Avon cosmetics house. Evident that The last phone call Celi Code messages (Avon is perhaps about to recall the Nova anagram, Vatican safe of those times?)
21-25 June: on Roman newspapers (Messenger And Time) modules appear to a column, of cryptic content, on « contact requests » to an unknown acronym, SRregarding not better specified « negotiations». In recent times it emerged that SR was for « Republic Services », in particular Sisde.
June 27th the « Mario » telephonist (whose item is superimposable to that of reo confess Marco Accetti) calls Orlandi at home e supports Emanuela’s « escapade »describing it for a walk for Rome as a sort of « daughter of flowers ». Is it a way to lower media attention on the case and allow the closing of the underground negotiations already started?
After you. June 28, 1983: the Turkish Wings agca (the same as the « exchange » with Emanuela will be asked soon) Surprisingly portrayed his accusations to Bulgaria (and extensively to the whole communist world) to have been Notes of the attack on John Paul II completed by him two years earlier. A coincidence? Perhaps.
The deadline of 30 June 1983
Thus we arrive at June 30, 1983fundamental day in intrigue. For that date it is expected that the Commission established between the two states to resolve the Ior-Ambrosian dispute (composed of Agostino Gambino, Pellegrino Capaldo and Renato Dardozzi for the Vatican part and Filippo Chimenti, Mario Cattaneo and Alberto Santa Maria for the Italian one) do you pronounce in via definitive On the « reimbursement » that the Holy See must recognize, as a consequence of the malagestio of President of Ior Marcinkus. The question is crucial: On the plate to repay creditors there are about 250 million dollars (the same that the following year will be granted with the agreement signed in Geneva). But the agreement is not yet mature. The commission are ancel …
The Vatican Bank blew
Here it is, the junction so far underestimated: is it at this juncture that the fate of the girls is accomplished? Emanuela and Mirella had been taken, with The aid of the Roman underworld and of misunderstood characters such as the son of Massone Marco Accetti, to encourage the recovery of money swallowed by the Vatican bank, Baped from too many unscrupulous operations, including support for Polish Solidarornosci union? And, once they ended up in this Gorgo, have they no longer gone out?
« No agreement, girls withheld »
According to this scenario, The two motives (foreign policy and business) overlap, On the other hand, hypothesis never excluded from investigators. And a robust clue in this sense also comes by the former investigated Accettithe man who in 2013 has self -accused of the double kidnapping, delivered The flute recognized by the Orlandi family and in his Memorial still in the documents of the Prosecutorspeaking of the failure of the Ior-Ambrosian negotiation, verbatim writes: «June 30, 1983: the final opinion of the Commission for the Institute of Works of Religion, which should have been delivered on this date, is postponed sine die. This decision causes some suspicions, so the two girls are further detained pending understanding the real reasons of the aforementioned postponement … «
Terrible and tremendously cynical, if this were the case: Emanuela and Mirella « deducted », torn from their affections, to be used in miserable power games? The Yellow Orlandi starts again from here, also thanks to the note from Sismi today I re -emerge. The word now passes to investigators to work in the Rome and Vatican Prosecutor’s Office, as well as to the parliamentarians engaged in the bicameral commission of inquiry. ([email protected])
