involved in

  • Trial for the murder of Roberto Calvi defendant; acquitted in 2007 and on appeal in 2010 Scholarship & press 14

    English summary of the Italian press report (Blitzquotidiano, 15 July 2010) on the appeal court's reasons: Calvi was killed and did not take his own life; there were too many conceivable alternative motives and too many people and bodies with an interest in his removal, from the mafia, the camorra, P2, the IOR and Italian politicians, and, the court said, possibly British and Italian secret services; informants reported only what they had heard from others; substantial indications weighed on Carboni, but the many alternative motives did not point to one on him. Carboni: "a judicial error", and he is "more than ever convinced that Roberto Calvi killed himself".

  4. I giudici d'appello: "Calvi non si ammazzò, fu ucciso", Blitzquotidiano, 15 Jul 2010. Scholarship & press
    sono state confermate le assoluzioni dell’imprenditore Flavio Carboni
    Roberto Calvi è stato ammazzato, non si è ucciso
    e troppi i soggetti e le organizzazioni che avrebbero avuto interesse all’eliminazione di Calvi: dalla mafia, alla camorra, alla P2, allo Ior e ai politici italiani
    hanno portato delle informazioni che hanno riferito di aver appreso
    E’ stato un errore giudiziario. Sono più che mai convinto che Roberto Calvi si sia suicidato
    possono anche comprendersi i Servizi segreti inglesi
    non c'e' dubbio gravino indizi consistenti
    la pluralita’ di moventi alternativi non pare concentrarne uno piu specifico su Carboni
