Marc Tarabella’s lawyer, Maxime Toller, told us that the hearing “went finee”. And to continue: “Marc Tarabella answered all the questions of the investigators in all frankness and in a serene atmosphere. No new evidence has been presented to corroborate the accusations of money transmission, nor has anything new been presented. The only incriminating element are Mr. Panzeri’s remarks against my client“.
The lawyer adds:All it takes is the defamation of a person, recognized as the head of a criminal organization, to cause such a tsunami and unfairly smear Mr. Tarabella. He continues to claim his innocence. He says he never received money or gifts in exchange for a favor and recalls having nothing to reproach himself for“.
For Maxime Toller again, it’s “the word of a criminal, Panzeri, against the word of a man who has been honest all his life, Marc Tarabella. My client will continue to fight for his innocence to be recognized. The self-serving and handsomely rewarded word of a single person should never be enough to put someone in jail and potentially destroy their life.“
