Official Statement – August 8, 2019

I would like to once again express my gratitude for the support of all my friends, the prayers of my fans, and the trust of our partners, who have always believed in my son’s innocence.

Another step—in fact, a huge and definitive step—in the grueling journey through this nightmare we’ve been living through over the last “endless” two months.

I just watched the Public Prosecutor’s Office announce its final decision to dismiss the investigation into the unjust rape and assault charges against my son.

Complete satisfaction. The Judiciary, just hours after the Public Prosecutor’s Office issued its ruling—and without waiting for the statutory deadline—validated and approved the ruling, thereby definitively closing the case.

Son, life goes on—keep moving forward, always with your head held high, a calm heart, and the peace and tranquility of the innocent.

I would like to thank all my friends for their support, all my fans for their prayers, and my partners for their trust—they have always believed in my son’s innocence.

One more step was taken—indeed, a huge and definitive one—on the difficult journey through this nightmare we have been living through over the last “never-ending” couple of months.

I have just watched the prosecution’s statement announcing its final decision to definitively close the case investigating the false allegations of rape and assault against my son.

Fully satisfied. The Judiciary, after hearing the prosecution’s statement, without waiting for the statutory deadline, validated and ratified the opinion, closing the case once and for all.

Son, let’s keep moving forward in life, always with our heads held high, our hearts at peace, and the serenity of the innocent.
