The single judge of Foggia upheld the defence objection that the interceptions were inadmissible.
With the main evidence in the trial gone, the Public Prosecutor himself asked for all the defendants to be acquitted.
Michele Vaira stated: “Telephone interceptions are such an invasive tool in people’s private lives that when you manage to prove they are unlawful it is always a great satisfaction.
In any case, even with the interceptions, the trial would have established the innocence of some of the defendants.”
