Tuesday,
November 20, 2012. It turns out the Giuseppe Spinelli, the so-called
Berlusconi's cashier, was rapidly kidnapped and release on the 15 October, on an attempt to obtain a ransom.

Giuseppe
Spinelli is on of the most trustworthy member of Silvio Berlusconi's team,
he was in charge of paying out allowances and rent for the so-called
Olgettine, a bunch of young women (currently Elisa Toti, Aris
Espinoza, Ioana Visan, Marysthelle Polanco and Eleonora De Vivo)
recruited by former councillor Nicole Minetti. The former Italian
prime minister of Italy is taking care of the beauties, habitué on
bunga-bunga parties (details in our post “Silvio Berlusconi and the bunga bunga army”).
On
the night of the 15th of October Mr Spinelly and his wife
apparently were kidnapped and detained in they very home, for 11
hours, by a gang of criminals, lead by a native of Bari wearing a
black and red (AC Milan colours) shoes, according to the Italian news agency ANSA.

The
list of the bizarre elements of this odd flash-kidnapping continues:
somebody mentioned a CD containing shootings about the President of
the Italian Chamber of Deputies - and former Berlusconi's ally and heir apparent - Gianfranco Fini talking with
magistrates and “papers” about the so-called “lodo Mondadori”
(documents that "would have made The Cavaliere happy", by proving that Fini framed SB in one of his fraud proceedings), a 35m
euros ransom, £28m or $45 (out of which 8m - which is £6.4m or $10m - could have been paid).
And finally, as
Spinelli was released he would not head for the nearest Police
station, but he dashes to Berlusconi's villa in Arese. The Police
learned about the incident only on the 17th of October. Negotiations with the criminals were led by Berlusconi's lawyer and member of Italian parliament Niccolò Ghedini.
The
two involved persons Mr Fini and Mondadori's Mr De Benedetti stated
that the whole thing is “a joke” and “ridiculous”,
respectively.
The
Police arrested six people – indicted on counts of kidnapping for
ransom – three Italian citizens and three Albanians. Two of them
allegedly stopped Giuseppe Spinelli at his home's entrance, and –
under the threat of weapons, pushed him into the propriety. After
declaring that they did not intend do carry out a robbery, the
criminals turned really polite, allowing the hostages to turn in,
apparently turning down the blankets on them. The boss of the gang is
Francesco Leone (the man with the red and black trainers, betrayed by his passion for AC Milan), his criminal
life started back in 1982, has already pleaded repentant in the past.
A
bit of a mess, isn't it? But the Italian judiciary is working on it,
the real story might be revealed soon...
