Garlasco (Pavia) – “Offending my customers is a defensive strategy of mine” and “If I had taken into account my price list i Sempio they had to give me 130 thousand euros“. Words of Massimo Lovati one of Andrea Sempio‘s lawyers, involved in the Garlasco affair on “Dentro la notizia” – hosted by Gianluigi Nuzzi on Canale 5 and at the center of controversy after his statements to Fabrizio Corona. “For now I’m still his lawyer, I haven’t received any communication. Let’s wait. I’ll stay until they let me stay. In my opinion Andrea would be wrong to separate from me“. On the insults towards the Sempio family (‘they are as ignorant as goats’, ed.) Lovati clarified: “I was referring to their sentence when they said that they were at ‘the mercy of the lawyers’. They are ignorant of legal matters and, since sometimes offending my clients is my strategy, I expressed myself this way. This is a strategy that is sometimes successful, I gain an impression on the judges by criticizing and offending my clients.”
The accounts
Of the 30 thousand euros received from the Sempio family, he explains that he was “entitled to more than 30 thousand euros! Apart from the fact that I didn’t get that amount, if anything a third. But if I had taken into account my price list more than 30 thousand euros, at least they were 130 thousand. I worked for eight months on a case like this…”.
Testimonial
In closing, when Gianluigi Nuzzi asks him for explanations about his involvement as a testimonial for a dental clinic in Albaniastates: “The day after tomorrow I’m going there so they can get my teeth. I’m already a testimonial for that clinic, I signed a contract with them. They put the implants in me and when they ask me to be a testimonial I will do it. I won’t pay for this operation.” Then on the possible incompatibility between being a testimonial and being a lawyer, he concludes: “No, because this is indirect advertising”.
