Giuliano Amato.
“The most reliable version, Responsibility of the French Air Force with the complicity of the Americans Amato reassures him in an interview published this Saturday by the newspaper ‘Repubblica’.
One of the biggest mysteries of Italian aviation, the Ustica tragedy still remains a mystery.or more than forty years later, the reasons were never explained, although subsequent research suggests that he was killed.
“The plan was to skin Gaddafi, who was flying in the air force MIG.. and the plan was Simulating a NATO exerciseWith many planes in motion and at that time a missile would be fired at the Libyan leader: the exercise was a fiction that would make it possible for the attack to be viewed as an ‘unintentional accident’,” added the two-time president. Member of government and former president of the Constitutional Court.
But things turned out differently because “Gaddafi was warned of the danger (says by the past Italian socialist leader Bettino Craxi) and did not get on his plane. And the missile launched at the Libya Mig eventually crashed into the Itavia DC9. It sank with eighty-one innocents inside.”
“The most reliable hypothesis is that this missile Launched by a French fighter jet from an aircraft carrier or Solenzara military base on the south coast of CorsicaHe was very busy that night,” he adds.
Amato is a prestigious politician and lawyer with a long career whose name is considered to be the presidency of the Italian Republic.We regret that France and NATO do not “shed light” on what is going on.: “Crime by the State”.
“Forty years laterUstica’s innocent victims do not get justice. Why do you continue to hide the truth? It’s time to shine a light on a terrible state secret, or rather a state secret. The President of France (Emmanuel) Macron (…) could do it. and NATOThe plane, which for all these years had stubbornly concealed what had happened in Italian skies, could have done it.”
Former Minister of Interior, Economy and Institutional Reforms also believes that the time has come.Let the one who knows speak: It would be a very valuable act for the families of the victims and for History.“and urges Macron to step forward.
“I wonder why a young president like Macron, unaware of the Ustica tragedy, does not want to remove the shame that has fallen on France. And You can only remove this in two ways: by showing that this thesis is unfounded, or by apologizing to Italy and the families once it has been proven to be valid. On behalf of the Victims’ Governments, prolonged silence does not seem like the solution to me.”
