March 19, 2019 "From the technical-procedural point of view the death" of Imane Fadil "harms Berlusconi's defense because his statements enter the process directly and so we cannot proceed with the counter-examination". This was stated by Berlusconi's lawyer, Federico Cecconi, at the end of a hearing in the Ruby ter case.

"Fadil's death harms Berlusconi's defense"
With the death of Imane Fadil, one of the key witnesses of the investigations into the Ruby case, the statements of the young woman, who died last March 1 due to a suspected poisoning, were also made during the investigation into the Ruby ter case, which sees Berlusconi accused of corruption in judicial acts together with many 'olgettine', will enter directly into the proceedings of the trial. For this reason, the lawyer Cecconi explained that technically and from the procedural point of view the death "harms" Berlusconi's defense and "determines a negative consequence", because the defenders will no longer be able to counter-examine the witness in the courtroom in the process.

The defender, to those who asked him what he thought about the mysterious death of the Moroccan model, replied that he did not intend to "express opinions" and that in the face of a person's death "there is the maximum form of pain".

The appeal in the courtroom. "Fadil is not there"
"Fadil is not there". Thus Judge Giuseppe Fazio, President of the Fourth Criminal Section, acknowledged the absence of Imane Fadil by appealing to the parties at the beginning of the hearing on the topic Ruby ter against Silvio Berlusconi and Roberta Bonasia, one of the guests at Arcore evenings. In the last hearings, Fadil had asked, through his lawyer, to be admitted as a civil party along with Ambra Battilana and Chiara Danese, the other two girls who claim to have been damaged by dinners at Villa San Martino. A new attempt after the request for the establishment of a civil party was rejected in the main trial, the one against the former prime minister and 27 other people that is celebrated before the seventh criminal section. The judge also noted that in the courtroom he was not presenting "no lawyer to represent her", without mentioning the death of the key witnesses of the Public Prosecutor, who died on March 1st for a still mysterious evil. In today's hearing, the Tribunal expressed its support for the reunification between the two strands, postponing the proceedings to the criminal section week for a hearing set for April 15th.

The investigation and the suspect metals
Yesterday the Milanese prosecutors investigating the mysterious death of Imane Fadil, the key witness of the investigations into the Ruby case, heard the medical director of Humanitas, the clinic where the 34-year-old died last March 1, at the public prosecutor's office as an informed person. The woman was hospitalized for a suspected poisoning and died after about a month of agonies and suffering. The clinic manager is just one of several witnesses that the investigators are hearing these days to shed light on the woman's death.

Before he died, the former model had confided to his brother and his lawyer the suspicion of having been poisoned. The first analyzes confirmed the presence of 5 metals in the body of the 34-year-old even if not at alarming levels. The hypothesis of radioactive contamination, according to what is learned in Milanese judicial circles, would be confirmed by the results of a partial test conducted by the doctors of a specialized center in Milan on the girl's urine.

Greek Pm: high cadmium and antimony presence
In the body of Imane Fadil a "high presence of cadmium and antimony" was found. Public prosecutor Francesco Greco said today. "Very higher values ​​of chromium and molybdenum" have also been found in the tests. Instead the cobalt values ​​were "low, not significant", reported the PM. "The examinations - he explained - were done partly on the blood that was washed twice during the hospitalization and on the urine". At the autopsy on the body the Fire Brigade will also participate, the prosecutor later explained, "because they have specific training and adequate instrumentation for the risk of radiation", stating that "we will proceed first with the extraction of some samples for the first analysis".

The prosecutor then specified that "it is not excluded, however, that Imane Fadil died of a rare disease. The prosecutor's priority is to ascertain the causes of death". he pointed out. "The doctors of Humanitas - added Greek - have tried to follow all the possible hypotheses based on medical science and one by one they have rejected them finding themselves in front of a complex situation that they have not been able to understand".

Salvini: on hypothesis poisoning aspect of certain elements
Ruby Ter, "there is an investigation underway. I will not allow myself to be substituted for the investigators and the magistrates and wait for them to tell me something certain. I am not satisfied with some journalistic hypotheses. If there were anything certain, obviously at the Viminale we will draw the consequences ". This was stated by Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini.
