19 November 2019It is "insufficient and contradictory" the proof that Marco Carta took part in the theft of 6 T-shirts on May 31st at the Rinascente in Milan. Judge Stefano Caramellino writes, in the reasons of the sentence with which, on 31 October in the shortened trial, he acquitted "for not having committed the fact" the singer from the accusation of having stolen 6 t-shirts, last May at the Rinascente in Milan. According to the judge "the alternative reconstructive hypothesis of the defense" is supported by "confirmation elements" ".

"Her friend wanted to give him a present"
"The motive declared by Fabiana Muscas, consisting in wanting to make a surprise birthday present for Marco Carta, corresponds to an eventuality that is certainly not remote nor conjectural, but objectively found in the concrete case since it is consistent with the actual birthday of Marco Carta , ten days before the event, "writes the judge.

"Marco Carta admitted the theft? Unreliable vigilante"
Both Marco Carta and Fabiana Muscas would have admitted the theft of t-shirts to a vigilante della Rinascente, when they were stopped, on May 31st, on the threshold of the Milan department store. The same vigilante supported him, heard as witnesses by the local police, whose claims, however, were considered "seriously unreliable" by the judge who acquitted the singer in the shortened trial.

In the minutes of summary information reported in the judge's motivations and signed by the vigilante, we read: "The couple left on public street was invited to return to the store. The duo consented and once returned admitted the theft showing the contents of the bag, from which we could still see the stolen shirts ". The judge defined the witness's statements "seriously unreliable, because they describe material facts incompatible with what was objectively revealed by the video recordings". Moreover, according to Caramellino, they would be characterized by "generic and objective inaccuracy".

The judge claims that "it is essentially reasonable to admit that the authors of the minutes of summary information formed in the immediacy of the fact have constantly had an imperfect control throughout the drafting of the report". An explanation that, as we read in the 34-page document, is "rational" and "corresponds to an eventuality that is certainly not remote or conjectural, but objectively found on a logical level (...) because it is consistent with the relative speed with which this report is been formed "- or from 9.15 pm to 11.00 pm - and" at the end of a rather heavy working day, due to the exceptional influx of consumers on the occasion of Black Friday ".
