Only in Italy a character like Mario Scaramella could make a career he did.
This is just one example of how things might end up without dovuti
controlli . Nella gestione di un Paese la trasparenza è basilare ma
i nostri governanti pare se ne siano dimenticati.
Ecco una parte dell'inchiesta su Scaramella di Claudio Gatti:
Inchiesta di Claudio Gatti per Il Sole 24
ore – Primo di due articoli
Chi è veramente Mario Scaramella ? Opzione numero 1: un professore
universitario, dirigente di un organismo intergovernativo legato all'Onu di nome
Ecpp. Opzione numero 2: un uomo al servizio dell'intelligence italiana, inglese,
o americana. Opzione numero 3: un millantatore, forse patologicamente mitomane.
Un'inchiesta condotta da Il Sole-24 Ore con l'International Herald Tribune, ha
permesso di raccogliere elementi sufficienti per scartare l'opzione numero 1 e
ritenere la numero 2 altamente improbabile.
Il 31 dicembre, nel suo blog personale, l'ex presidente della Commissione
Mitrokhin, il senatore di Forza Italia Paolo Guzzanti , ha augurato
a tutti «un 2007 dirompente nella vittoria della verità sulle fabbricazioni».
«Il Sole-24 Ore» ha trascorso un mese alla ricerca dei fatti e (possibilmente)
della verità su Mario Scaramella . Conclusione: Paolo
Guzzanti è solo l'ultima di una lunga serie di persone che per 18 anni gli
hanno permesso di girare il mondo spacciandosi per quello che non è mai stato,
cioè commissario, magistrato antimafia, professore universitario, responsabile
di un'organizzazione intergovernativa ed esperto di intelligence sovietica. A
difesa di Guzzanti si può solo dire che l'elenco è lungo. Ma era
altrettanto lunga la serie di campanelli d'allarme che avrebbe dovuto far capire
a Guzzanti e agli altri che si trattava di un individuo da cui stare alla
larga. Arrestato il 24 dicembre, oggi il Tribunale del riesame deciderà se
concedere a Scaramella la scarcerazione mentre Attorney's Office is investigating the crimes of slander Bologna.
ENVIRONMENTAL fierce
The rise of Mario Scaramella fighter environment, began very early. In March 1989, just 19 years, founded the cores of civilian security agents, or birth, a microgroups of nine components related to an environmental organization on the right, the Group of ecological research. A few months later, on September 12 '89, signed a memorandum of understanding with the Department of Environment of the Province of Naples. But the long shot he did when he got a letter from the police anti-mafia which recommended to the prefecture issuance of firearms licenses for professionals in the service of the Birth of the "Commissioner Scaramella . A sign that letter was Luciana Villa, a family friend director of the Ministry of the Interior.
Then, waving away the badge to watch the fish-hunting provincial, "Mr Scaramella " is presented by the prosecution to two alternates in Santa Maria Capua Vetere for Support of the Judiciary in its activities to kidnapping . With the support of officials entrusted to him, Scaramella was a flurry of activity leading to seizures. "It may seem Incredibly, with its nucleus had the good and bad weather in the provinces of Naples and Caserta from 89 in mid '91, "says Rosaria Capacchione, the reporter of" Morning "that at the time he wrote an extraordinary series of articles. "He came to seize illegal buildings, hotels, restaurants, bars, a dairy and even a clandestine racecourse boss of Speech."
to end the antics of birth was a sergeant of police became suspicious of the fact that at the time of the signing of the minutes, Scaramella found a way to distance themselves. In July '91, he was put on trial for misuse of title and public functions. The sentence fu depositata il 31
dicembre 1994, dopo un procedimento in cui vennero chiamati a testimoniare sia i
due sostituti ingannati che l'Alto commissario antimafia Domenico Sica.
In quell'occasione si manifestò un fenomeno che avrebbe accompagnato la carriera
di Scaramella : la presa di distanza di chi gli aveva dato legittimità.
Ecco che cosa scrive l'allora pretore Roberto de Falco nella sua sentenza:
«Larghe zone d'ombra sono rimaste, anche in conseguenza della retromarcia... da
parte di molti organi istituzionali che avevano appoggiato lo Scaramella
e i Nasc... retromarcia evidenziata dal contenuto chiaramente minimizzatore, se
non reticente, di molte delle deposizioni dei pubblici officials enforced in court. "
The conviction was later overturned on appeal with a motivation defined today by de Falco "in point of law 'which was established to" commissioner "was in everyday language, and Scaramella had used it as commission chairman of Birth.
Scaramella discovered America
events judicial Scaramella forced to close the Birth. But not discouraged. Having burned land near his home, looked beyond national borders, focusing on acronyms in English and contacts across the Atlantic. Thus was born the
Special Research Monitoring Center (SRMC), which declared virtual entity connected with space centers and American college but had not even a real home. It burst onto the scene with Filippo Marino, a former army officer Italian security expert who had done training courses in the use of arms to the group of Scaramella. Marino had moved to San Francisco in the early 90's. Periklis Papadopoulos had met there, a researcher of Greek origin who worked for the Eloret, a research firm Space NASA subcontractor. For Scaramella was the key to regain legitimacy. With
its international connections, she decided to try their hand in the field of expert advice. Immediately found jobs at the power of attorney of Verona and Reggio Calabria. To give him advice in Reggio was the substitute Francesco Blacks, former right hand man in Palmi Agostino Cordova, who then led an investigation of suspected vessels were sunk to dispose of radioactive waste. Scare emerged a report in which they were given dozens of suspicious sinkings in the Mediterranean. The search for these relics could be a business of billions. Scaramella reconstructed the story in an interview to the 'Espresso': 'It was 1996, when the magistrates of Calabria contacted me for a delicate mission. They wanted to find a sunken ship in the Mediterranean suspected of transporting radioactive waste, or When, therefore, my contacts. " Scaramella was referring to Eloret. "It was a perfect structure for our needs, but it was too exposed to take the job," he explained. His proposal was to use the SRMC, presented as representative of Eloret in Italy.
dell'Srmc The plan envisaged an investment of 1 billion 400 million lira. The case was then transferred to substitute anti-mafia prosecutor Alberto Cisterna that, suspiciously, stopped everything. "If I'm not mistaken the expertise of Scaramella assumed the existence of undercurrents order of hundreds of kilometers per hour that could have prevented the discovery of the wrecks, "he recalls today Cisterna. "Since the underwater currents in the Mediterranean can reach up to 10 knots, that statement helped to raise serious doubts in me about all the activities carried out expert, doubts also reported in the parliamentary hearing."
The Environmental Crime
alarms Cisterna not enough to curb the activities of Scaramella. In fact urged him to strengthen his international career. Here is the final step: the intergovernmental body. In March 1997, together with the trust Marino, Scaramella founded the Environmental Crime Prevention Program, the Program for the prevention of environmental crime. It was sold as a body of international law but was an empty box that is not being registered in any country in the world. The ECPP
born already ... born with "The Plenary Conference" held in Naples. The first conference is not to be ever made. Probably because the best way to convince someone to get involved was to present an intergovernmental program that already exists. Having to create a semblance of international, Scaramella decided to appoint three "special assistants" in a statement that appeared as "John Graham Taylor (UK), Christian Trentola (France) and Phillip Marino (Germany). The first was an inexperienced employee of British nationality. The second of a young Neapolitan French mother whose last name was actually written without the final accent. The third, his partner Phil Marino.
Boasting nothing more than an acronym, Scaramella began to weave his web. In December 1998, ECPP he applied to get the status of "observer" at the London Convention, an organization linked to the International Maritime Organization. He was granted the must clearly mark the first provisional and then final without scruple to verify the true nature and consistency of the organization. Scaramella and his were so invited to attend annual meetings of the Convention, an award duly advertised.
Another element in the work of standing dell'Ecpp came from NATO. With amazing effrontery, Scaramella said funds and sponsorship of the NATO Science Program for a conference on environmental security to be held in Lithuania in cooperation with local government. He got everything and it was co-organizer of the NATO workshop. When we asked the current director Born of the program, Chris De Wispelaere, as might have happened, his response was: "His proposal was clearly valid."
A similar operation was conducted against the Secretariat of the Basel Convention for the protection of the environment, under the aegis of the UN body based in Geneva. In this case, Scaramella even managed to sign a cooperation agreement. Even here, no one ever took the trouble to check anything. Was needed was self dell'Ecpp citing the "IV Plenary Conference," which was held in New York have offices in the U.S. environment agency, the EPA.
him to have the availability of these offices in November 2000 was Michael Penders, an official of the legal department of Ep that in a few months would leave the state administration to establish his own consulting firm and then was concerned to create a network of international contacts. Now minimize Penders: "We gave him an office for an hour." But an hour was enough to Scaramella. And still the same Penders joined the organization. "I only agreed to give support to the group of legal work," she justifies.
THE ROLE OF PROFESSOR
But how could an officer of an important U.S. government entity associated with a Scaramella ? "I had met at the NATO conference in Lithuania. It seemed to me a young and dynamic law professor who had put together a network of scientists, "he says Penders. He was then helped by the fact that Scaramella said she was also an "anti-Mafia magistrate." University professor? Anti-Mafia magistrate? In both cases the charge was fabricated. However, on the basis of an infinitesimal grain of truth. On June 6, 2001, with the blessing of the President of the Court and the Judicial Council of Naples, and a resolution of the Plenary Assembly of the Council of the Judiciary, Scaramella could actually become honorary judge of the court. It was an honorary office, which had nothing to do with the fight against the Mafia. But it was enough to build the usual house of cards.
Also in the university, he managed to obtain the supporting documents. He started in 1998 with the Department of Science internationalist University Federico II of Naples. "I was approached by Scaramella, who told me to be leading a unit of environmental criminology and asked me to establish a working relationship. He told me to have important contacts, adding that a cousin of two of my former students, Stephanie and Sergio Rastrelli, son of former President of the Campania region, Antonio Rastrelli, "says Professor Luigi Sico, then head of the Department. "We draw up a framework agreement that gave the department the task of providing staff training. Part of the straight course was intended to fund the department and the university. But the Convention do not apply because Scaramella there never came any request. "
Not yet satisfied, Scaramella came forward with the Department of Space Science and Engineering (Disisa) of Frederick II. "It has important contacts in the political-scientific, saying among other things, being a professor at Stanford and ECPP ground that had been mandated by the environment ministers of member countries, "says Professor Paul Oliviero, who shortly after became director of the department. It seemed like a good proposal and a resolution of 19 June 2000 the department decided "to establish a program called Center for Space Policy." The paragraph 3 of resolution said that "the operational arrangements of the Centre will be defined by a specific regulation of the Department, and item 4 that" the seat of the Centre will be at the same Department. Also this time was a statement of intent that would have to follow operational arrangements. Even at this time Scaramella enough. It disappeared.
His name came up again a year later, July 14, 2001, when the Department received a letter from the police, who "for urgent criminal investigations" if asked Scaramella "is in possession of a researcher and educator in politics Space at this University "and" if it is, or has been, director of the Center for Space Policy. " The responses were both negative. Then another year passed before he buckled under the name of Oliver Scaramella. This time was to make him a professoressa
universitaria colombiana, che il 27 marzo 2002 lo andò a trovare all'Università
per mostrargli un attestato appena ricevuto. Si trattava di un diploma su carta
pergamenata del «Centro di politica spaziale del Dipartimento di scienza e
ingegneria dello spazio». Era firmato dal direttore del centro, il professor
Mario Scaramella .
«Se ricordo bene mi disse di averlo pagato», dice Olivero, che a quel punto,
dopo aver avuto l'indirizzo, decise di recarsi di persona negli uffici del
Centro spaziale di Scaramella . «Era al primo piano sottoscala del palazzo
del Cinema delle Palme, in Via Vetriera a Chiaia n.12», ricorda il professore.
«Fuori del portone, sulla placca del campanello, trovai appiccicati due piccoli
stemmi dell'Università». Oliviero scrisse una lettera di denuncia al rettore,
mettendosi a disposizione dell'ufficio legale dell'Università.
Ma il 4 ottobre successivo, ricevette l'invito ufficiale a un convegno che
Scaramella stava organizzando al Centro italiano di ricerche aerospaziali
(Cira), diretto da un altro professore di ingegneria dell'Università di Napoli,
Sergio Vetrella. Oliviero si preoccupò ovviamente di avvertire il collega della
trappola. In un'email mandata in copia all'intero Dipartimento il 23 ottobre
2002, scrisse: «Caro Sergio, ho avuto notizia di un workshop su tecnologie
spaziali... organizzato da tale Mario Scaramella presso il Cira a
nome di un fantomatico Centro di politica spaziale del Disis. Ti ricordo che
noi, come Dipartimento, non ci siamo mai sognati di costituire tale centro...
Non abbiamo mai visionato le credenziali dello Scaramella , né delle sue
iniziative. Dette iniziative devono intendersi del tutto arbitrarie e, comunque,
mai autorizzate né da me né tanto meno dal Disis. Paolo Oliviero».
Una decina di giorni dopo, il Cira diffuse un comunicato annunciando il convegno
in cui si diceva: «Organizzatore dell'evento è l'Ecpp, rappresentato in Italia
dal professor Mario Scaramella , general secretary of the Authority and director of the Center for Space Policy, University Federico II. " The conference, attended by a large Russian delegation as well as the usual suspects Papadopoulos and Penders, took place without any hitches whatsoever to Scaramella. Indeed, it was the culmination of its activities in space. So much so that took more and more to stand as director of the space center in Frederick.
He did well in an interview on "The Morning February 3, 2003, which again aroused the attention of Oliver. "On February 4, decided to call for cautionary to continue to use that name," recalls. The next day he received a long fax of excuses and justifications: "Dear Professor Oliver, I am writing to apologize to you and your colleagues in the department if the interview published by the" Morning "I mentioned to my title of director of the Center space policy, and if this act have caused some disturbance. "
WHERE WAS THE MONEY?
diplomas, certificates and professional courses conducted according to the occasion by ECPP, SRMC, Center for Space Policy Unit and environmental criminology not only served to meet young graduates who gave him a hand as Christian or Trentola Carmine Minoia, who could mention them in their curricula. They were also a potential source of funding. What is certain is that the online curriculum developed by Minopoli refers to vocational training "sponsored by the Campania Region" took place between 1994 and 1998.
Scaramella found in some other public funding national parks. As one of the Gargano, June 27, 2002, by a resolution of the then president Matteo Fusilli entrusted the task of demolition of illegal artifacts in Scaramella. The contract was formally awarded to the ECCP, called "inter-governmental organization based in public law Washington DC and a representative office in Via Vetriera Chiaie # 12, Naples. " In short, the usual sub Cinema Delle Palme. Legal representative of the organization: Giorgia Dionisio, Scaramella time companion, as a "special assistant secretary general dell'Ecpp.
in 2002 appear to have been made three payments, respectively, 51,645, 43,336 and € 268,764. But how could you pay a body that did not exist and had never been formally recorded in any country? No problem: the payments were made on the current account 27/36249 a branch of Banco di Napoli. Account holder: Mario Scaramella .
In 2003, he was then signed a new agreement for another 500 thousand euro but was revoked in June 2004 by the new president of the Park, the scrupulous lawyer Domenico Gatta, and by its board of directors. Other
commissioned Scaramella was the Vesuvius National Park Authority. Here's what he wrote Matthew Rinaldi, director of the park since last November: "The Authority has entered into two agreements with the ECPP for the demolition of illegal products and environmental restoration on 03/25/2003 and 02/12/2003 ... For the documents prepared by the Park signatories to the Conventions, he settled in Via Chiara Vetriera to 12 / d. The name of the company is: European public law for the prevention of environmental crimes based in Washington. All'Ecpp was paid a fee of € 860,824.34. Rinaldi has specified that in the case of the first convention ECPP was "represented" by his "secretary general, Dr. Pavel Suian," and the second by Giorgia Dionysus (along with another associate of Scaramella, such Livio Ricciardi) .
Suian was a former Rumanian diplomat who was then legal adviser to the Secretariat of the Basel Convention, one of the bodies to associatisi Scaramella. Contacted by the Sole-24 Ore, the Secretariat ha spiegato che «se
Suian avesse effettivamente firmato quel contratto sarebbe stato in violazione
delle norme dell'Onu» La strategia di Scaramella risulta a questo punto
chiara: utilizzare ogni singolo contatto o evento per accreditarsi e
legittimarsi con quello successivo in una straordinaria catena autoreferenziale
senza limiti geografici. Ma se è riuscito a farla franca fino al 24 dicembre
scorso, giorno del suo arresto, è stato per l'ingenuità, la passività e la
connivenza di persone che adesso fanno a gara nel minimizzare il proprio
contributo.
