«Women in the police at the time they were not very considered… »unpublished out of theprogram, in an institutional headquarters, on male chauvinism prevailing in the public administration and ai leaders of the police in the last glimpse of the last century. It was a long -term investigator, now retired after a brilliant Career in the State Police and in the secret services (SISMI), to turn on the lighthouse-Misoginia during his hearing in front of the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry into the Orlandi-Gregori case. Maria Vozzi83 years old, in the role of official of the Mobile team of Rome participated in various stages in the investigations on the Disappearance of Emanuela and Mirellaopen in June 1983 under the orders of Nicola Cavalierethe head of the murders section listened to last week (Here the revelations of the super-stadium). In her intervention at the bicameral, which lasted about an hour, Dr. Vozzi did not use periphrasis: «Not I remember almost nothing of Emanuela’s case – he said – also because women at the time were not very considered in the police, so Many things did not come to tell me to me». Were the very first implementation times of the police reform launched in 1981, which had redesigned and modernized public security in Italy, but evidently the new principles were not yet assimilated in daily practice.

« Emanuela? Maybe strangled …. « 

As for the Orlandi-Gregori affair As a whole, more conjectures you find. «My idea on Emanuela? Not remembering everything well, I don’t know what to say. It may be that it has remained victim of some mascalzone – the witness darkened – how it happens Unfortunately still ».

Finally, to those who asked her for a reflection on the fact that the Orlandi case at the time publicly also spoke John Paul II, Maria Vozzi He replied: « The disappearance of a girl was something that resonated and the Pope also felt compelled. »
