Rome, 11 July (LaPresse) – ‘Nordio said in court that the first communication on Almasri was unclear. We now discover that his chief of staff Bartolozzi was so concerned that she asked him not to leave any trace in official documents and to only communicate via Signal. One of two things is true: either Nordio lied or Bartolozzi hid the information from him.’ This is what IV leader Matteo Renzi said in an interview with La Stampa. ‘Given the esteem I have for Nordio, paradoxically, I hope he is lying,’ he added. "If, in fact, he told the truth, it means that his chief of staff is controlling him. I prefer a Nordio who lies to a Nordio who is a puppet. If Nordio is lying, it is serious. If Nordio is telling the truth, the Ministry of Justice is being run by the head of the cabinet, not by Nordio. And that's even more serious."
