Legal Practitioner and Partner Charged with Judicial Corruption

The trial continues involving Camilla Marianera, the trainee lawyer who ended up in jail in Rome along with her partner Jacopo De Vivo, accused of corruption in judicial acts. The two young individuals are accused of selling, in exchange for bribes, information covered by investigative secrecy. The partner has opted for a fast-track trial: for him, in January, the Prosecution requested a six-year prison sentence, and the verdict is expected in the coming days. During the hearing, the trainee lawyer Camilla Marianera, accused in the trial born from the investigation on a supposed 'mole' in the Rome court, stated, "I have boasted. I exaggerated my connections to build a client base and make more money. If I could go back, I wouldn't do it." "When Luca Giampà (husband of a member of the Casamonica family), whom I specify I have only seen twice in my life, told me he had his GPS and phone under surveillance, I, after pretending to check, simply repeated the same things to Giampà, crediting his suspicions: I told him he was under environmental and telephone wiretapping," Marianera explained to the judges of the eighth collegiate. She also spoke about her partner: "With De Vivo, I met Giampà who told us he had found a GPS in his car. De Vivo knew that I was boasting with Giampà, but our relationship was quite contentious, and in a moment of anger, I told him that if I didn't get 500 euros for my service, he had to give them to me." In response to the prosecutor Guccione's question, contesting her for changing her version compared to what was stated in the first interrogation regarding De Vivo's awareness of her 'boasts', Marianera replied, "I was not lucid, I was exhausted, I had been in jail for less than 24 hours and had not slept."
