Just two days ago Ivano Iai – a Sardinian lawyer for the family of the resigned Monsignor Giovanni Angelo Becciu – had filed two complaints for slander, aggravated defamation and prohibition of disclosure of secrets and official investigations. At the center, in particular, some confidential documents “continually disclosed by the media in a distorted and derogatory way.” Twenty-four hours later, the same family, those Becciu brothers who would have been favored in business, terminated it in less than a week. In fact, the defense had been entrusted to him last Friday, just after the publication of the Papal Bulletin and the outcry over Pope Francis’ decision.
But as of now, the associate firm that Iai is a partner, based in Sassari, will no longer follow the protection and interests of former clients. A surprise move probably driven by reasons of opportunity for the dissemination of some photos of the lawyer, taken at sea and published in Dagospia. Images in which the lawyer poses, disguised, published by the professional on the private Instagram profile, downloaded by someone and then reached the well-known site. And that has not gone unnoticed. Dagospia’s collage proposes them alongside Becciu’s, with a hint in the summary: “But the eyes on the Vatican are only (…) for the fitness lawyer.”
Lawyer Iai, 48, (former president of the Luigi Canepa de Sassari Conservatory) and a lawyer with some experience, said he was shocked and regretful. He had assumed the defense of the five Becciu brothers with conviction: in addition to the cardinal (now empty position), that of Tonino, professor of religion and above all president of the Spes cooperative, beneficiary of contributions from the Holy See, Francesco, owner of a carpentry and Mario, teacher. university student and entrepreneur in the beer sector. His first letter in which we read, referring to the anticipation of the Espresso investigation: “The reported news is unfounded and maliciously false, in particular because of the imaginative and unprovable references to alleged payments from the Obolo di San Pietro and directed at members of the Cardinal’s family, or to private entities attributable to any of them. ”In the few and last official lines with which he gives the news of the revocation – without any reference to the photos – he says” honored by your unusual trust and affection. ” And again: “I am saddened to have had to cause more distress that is added to the unjust suffering suffered in recent days by His Eminence Cardinal Becciu and his family.”
