Everyone understands what the phrase "bitch" means, but the lawyer prefers to interpret it from the surface of the text and prove from the legal relationship that this sentence insults the reputation of Mussolini and the old Chiano family, and he can't even pick out the slightest thorn.

Sergio said quietly: "Considering that there is a prime minister, a cabinet minister, a noble woman, a noble son and at the same time a wide influence in Italy, I think the amount of the claim is fully justified." ”

The first argument was completely untenable, because what Matteotti and the defense lawyer said, the name Dog Cub was unavoidable.

"Moving on to the second allegation, Matteotti said in the article that my client instructed the police system to raid a rival's newspaper printing house, abusing public power, seeking personal gain, and acting in an embarrassing manner, which is a typical defamation."

Matteotti sneered: "This matter is not clear to the outside world, is it not clear to me as a relationship interest in the media industry?" ”

Contini stood up and shrugged: "There is no basis for what you say, please ask for a witness." ”

Witnesses were agreed to be called, and the Roma police chief, Grandini, and his baby son, Potty, went to court together.

"Mr. Potty, may I ask if you have the police go with you to raid some newspaper printing houses......

"That's right, it was last November." Poti admits cheerfully.

Matteotti's defense lawyer immediately followed up: "Was it instigated by the accuser? ”

"Plaintiff?" Poti showed a blank face, and then said, "Calais is the chairman of our alliance, and I am his deputy, if he has official business that I need to do, I can just give an order, and there is no need to instigate." I can do what I can, and if I can't do it or what I don't think I shouldn't, I will flatly refuse, and now you use this kind of word as if you are insulting me for being intellectually unqualified, and it is easy to be incited with words. ”

Listening to Bo Ji's serious nonsense, the audience suddenly burst into laughter, and the judge immediately picked up the gavel and knocked it: "Silence! ”

Matteotti's defense lawyer held back his anger and said, "Please answer the question head-on. ”

"I was ordered by my father to do the job of raiding the printing house."

"Mr. Glandini, is this really your order?"

"Yes." Grandini nodded in acknowledgement.

"Why such an order? Why should Mr. Potti, who is not a public official, be allowed to carry out such an order? ”

"There are two reasons: first, these printing houses often print illegal publications, and they all operate in the middle of the night, which requires a sudden attack by the police; Second, because I always end up with a meeting to deploy operations and assign tasks, I think that some of the participants must be leaking secrets and reporting to the outside world, so I chose Bo Ji to directly convey instructions to the sub-bureaus and attack quickly. He is my son, absolutely loyal to me, and at the same time he is not a public official, and there is no entanglement of interests, and my method has proved to be very effective, and the crackdown has been effective......"

Glandini said without humility or arrogance: "I don't think it's any transgression or violation of procedure to let Potty manually deliver the letter instead of the phone, they are carrying out my orders, and Potty is just a messenger." ”

"But I got the news that I didn't know anything about it, and it was your son Pody who carried you behind your back......"

"Mr. Matteotti, I know that you have a prejudice against the Roman police, about me, but this is not a reason to distort the facts, according to you, I have no knowledge of it, just because Potti is my son, and all the police stations carry out his orders, and if Potti can command the police stations in Rome like an arm, then I myself will not be more able to command everything? But I know very well that in the November newspaper, you criticized me for my incompetence and chaotic management, so which one is your sincere statement? Or are both of these slurs of yours? ”

Hearing the witnesses and the defendant scolded, and the audience burst into laughter, Potti took the time to glance at Contini: How is it, brother is doing well, right? Contini couldn't laugh or cry, and only pretended not to see it - now Grandini and Podzi are still witnesses, what do you think when the judge sees it?

"In the third allegation, the defendant slandered the plaintiff for selling his reputation and seeking improper benefits, and was suspected of embezzling state property." Pelle, the second barrister brought in by Contini, stood up unhurriedly and "asked the defendant to give his reasons in accordance with the principle that whoever asserts is the one who bears the proof." ”

"The defendant is now only a sophomore with no experience in government work and no other contributions, but he has already taken up the titles of assistant minister of the Ministry of Aviation and assistant minister of the Ministry of Transport, which we believe was entirely obtained through the exchange of improper benefits; In addition, the defendant recently opened a new United Airlines, which purchased hundreds of aircraft from the government for just 10 million lire, and the former military airport on the outskirts of Rome for an outrageously low price of 1 million lire, and according to the assessment, we believe that this land is worth at least 5 million lire or more......"

"What does the plaintiff have to say about this?"

"First of all, the plaintiff does not deny that he has the title of assistant minister in two departments, but contrary to common belief, the plaintiff obtained the title of assistant minister and is not included in the establishment of state civil servants, and in order to enjoy all salaries and benefits, even transportation and travel allowances, he is responsible for himself, in other words, these two titles are only titles in name; Secondly, the reason why the two ministers hired the plaintiff as an assistant to the minister was because the plaintiff played an important and active role in the work of the two departments, and was hired as an assistant to the minister in the spirit of selecting talents. "We implore the court to invite the Minister of Aviation, Mr. Duhei, and the Minister of Transport, Mr. Ziano, to testify." ”

Duhey first appeared in court, he said that during the inspection in Germany, Continy, because he had no attaché, volunteered to follow the whole process, and wrote a report on the aviation industry and the independent air force, which he reviewed and submitted as an official report of the Ministry of Aviation, which was highly praised by the cabinet and the prime minister, and he considered worthy of the title of assistant minister; Secondly, on the theory of air supremacy, he is currently undergoing a substantial revision, the motivation and theory of the revision are all derived from Contini's ideas, Du Hei said sincerely: "In the field of air supremacy theory, it is not so much that I am his teacher, but that I have received more inspiration from him, more than half of the content of my current revised manuscript has been revised and improved according to his theory, I want to put it in the first author, it is really this student is more modest, I am still the first author!" ”

Many people can understand Duhei's testimony for the students, but when it comes to this, everyone is impressed by Contini.

The elder Chiano testified on a stronger basis, and he asked people to show a summary of the contract between Italy and Germany regarding the trade of public vehicles: "This report was signed by the plaintiff and the German side, and he also went to Germany to inspect the specific products and cooperation objects, and so far, due to the sharp decline in the exchange rate of the mark, the Italian Ministry of Transport only needs to pay a quarter of the original contract price to get all the products, virtually earning 1.5 million US dollars for the country." If anyone can make $1,500,000 for the Ministry of Transportation in a single business to facilitate public transport for citizens of Rome, Milan, Florence, etc., I am not only willing to hire him as an assistant minister, but I can even nominate him as a candidate for vice-chancellor! ”

The auditorium was full of whispers, I didn't expect Contini to do so much work, plus the two assistant ministers are honorary and do not receive salaries, even they are upset for Contini......
