Equalize, Alex Britti asks to be a civil party for damages due to espionage

The singer Alex Britti has asked to join as a civil party, for the recognition of any damages suffered, in the maxi proceeding on the Equalize case on alleged illegal espionage with abusive access to databases, for which today in the bunker room of the Opera prison in Milan the preliminary hearing opened with over 70 defendants and more than 800 people offended for dozens of different episodes, in front of the preliminary hearing judge Tiziana Landoni.

From what has been known, in fact, in the preliminary hearing underway, behind closed doors, the formation of the parties has begun even if the activity will continue on December 3, a date already set because some problems have emerged regarding some notifications to be resolved. According to one of the dozens of charges formulated by prosecutors Francesco De Tommasi and Eugenio Fusco, in the investigation by the Carabinieri del Ros, the "principal" of the alleged espionage against the singer-songwriter Britti would have been Fulvio Pravadelli, former Publitalia manager, who would have asked the men of the investigation agency "to acquire prejudicial information" about him, while he was separating from his daughter. Britti is assisted by the lawyer Gianluca Tognozzi and the preliminary hearing judge will decide on the various requests from the civil party in the next hearings.

"I was afraid of attacks - Britti explained to the prosecutors, heard as a witness - but I never thought they would reach what emerged from the investigation (...) I fear that they could have gone so far as to create false evidence against me having found nothing in the dossier". Among the well-known personalities and people offended by alleged espionage of various charges are Ricky Tognazzi, Selvaggia Lucarelli (he will not file a claim as a civil party), Fabrizio Corona, Marcell Jacobs, Stefano Boeri and Paolo Scaroni.

At the center of the proceedings is the figure of Enrico Pazzali, former public manager and owner of Equalize, accused as well as the IT expert Nunzio Samuele Calamucci, who, however, collaborated in the investigations and is defining a plea bargaining request.
