Elisabetta Aldrovandi wrote that Alberto Stasi's detention on September 24, 2007, had not been validated due to the absence of a flight risk, not because of doubts regarding the presence of Chiara's DNA on Stasi's bicycle pedals. According to Aldrovandi, the prosecutor Muscio had justified the detention also by the risk that Stasi, having just returned from a study stay in London, could leave Italy; however, the preliminary investigating judge had excluded that risk. Aldrovandi added that the presence of DNA on the pedals had been considered certain until a few months earlier and that its compatibility with the victim's blood had been one of the main pieces of evidence leading to the conviction in the Court of Appeal in 2014 and in the Supreme Court in 2015. #garlasco #Giustizia #AlbertoStasi #Garlasco (translated)

Marco Setaccioli accused Travaglio of focusing on Gazprom and wrote that the Fatto had welcomed the decision attributed to Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin to rebuild the Nord Stream pipelines, described as "destroyed by Kiev." He called the director's comment manipulative, arguing that it presented the conflict as a proxy war, used derogatory tones towards European leaders, criticized the sanctions, and attributed the manipulation of Ukrainians to Washington and London, without naming Russia as the aggressor. Setaccioli also accused Travaglio of echoing Trump's narrative that the energy price hikes depended on Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries, rather than the war against Iran, and of blaming and harassing those who died under the bombings. #politica #media #guerra (translated)

Sabrina F. claimed that Volodymyr Zelensky was contacting his European allies after Donald Trump suggested he change jobs. She joked about the possibility that he might even call deceased relatives. According to her account, one of the calls was directed to London and the interlocutor was Andy Burnham, whom she referred to as the British Prime Minister. She reported that they would discuss support for Kiev, sanctions against Moscow, and an upcoming meeting, which in her opinion would primarily serve for a photograph, without guarantees on funding. Sabrina F. criticized the European Union, arguing that it promised support in words while the bill would fall on the citizens, and contrasted European statements with American pragmatism. She described Zelensky's phone calls as an attempt to keep a failed project alive. Among the sources she cited were a communiqué from the British government dated October 10, 2026, one from the Ukrainian presidency of the same date, and the Associated Press, also dated October 10, 2026. #Zelensky #Ucraina #PoliticaInternazionale (translated)
