Angelica Schiatti and the cause against Morgan, hearing postponed in September: “He wants to take time to exhaust the magistrates and me, in the hope that he can give up”

A new chapter in the stalking trial against Marco Castoldi, aka Morganaccused of aggravated stalking and defamation against the former partner Angelica Schiatti. On 1 July, in the Court of Lecco, the monochrome judge Martina Beggio postponed the hearing to 9 September. The decision made itself necessary because the lawyer Rossella Gallo, who defends Morgan, has “raised a question of constitutional legitimacy” for an article of the criminal code that It does not admit the possibility of extinguishing the crime of stalking in the presence of a repairing conductunlike what happens for other crimes. According to Morgan’s defense, this provision violates the principle of equality and proportionality, because In fact it makes it impossible to extinguish the crime through adequate compensation. On compensation, the figures of which the parties speak are very distant: Angelica Schiatti asked for 150 thousand euros, while Morgan offered 15 thousand.

The story has been going on from 2020, when Schiatti reports Morgan for stalking and aggravated defamation: After the end of the report he would have implemented persecutory behaviormade up of phone calls, messages and threats to spread private videos. For this reason, Angelica’s complaint has activated the Red codeprocedure aimed at guaranteeing immediate protection for victims of gender violence. During the process, Morgan apologized for the language used, but denied the harasse nature of his actions.

In the preliminary hearing of 13 September 2024, the songwriter asked to access reparative justice which allows the victim and the accused to resolve the conflict through a path of mediated meetings. Once the application was accepted, the process was interrupted and for Morgan A path was ordered at an anti -violence center in Milanfollowed by a mediation meeting with Schiatti. However, after two appointments at the reparative justice center, he decided to withdraw from the system: «Riparous justice is being used as a tool to take time before starting a process, as if five years were not already enough and as if you wanted to lead me to exhaustion». The lawyer Maria Nirta was keen to specify that her assisted person participated in a couple of scheduled meetings: “He did it because he did not want to erect an a priori wall, but now there are no longer the margins to continue”. The incompatibility of the positions appeared evident in the disproportion between the request for compensation for the civil party and the accused’s offer. So we arrived at the hearing of 1 July and now the new postponement in September.

If therefore the question in the courtrooms will be addressed later, On social media, the discussion has already taken shape. In fact, immediately after the judge’s decision, Morgan on Instagram published a video, shot at different times, accompanied by a long post. In the video the songwriter says that for him «The magistrates are a salvation, because the courtroom is the only area in which there is no inquisition that instead is in the newspapers. In the classrooms you listen to the accused ». In the classroom, according to Morgan, “It is established that the defendant not only has not committed crimes but has undergone serious damage”. He reiterates that he has not performed stalking actions: «My innocence is clear. Just see the person who are ». On the post a comment on the compensation request: «The sum of 15 thousand euros, which for me and my family represents a great sacrifice, It has been paid not as an admission of guilt, but as a gesture of availability and civic sense. If the offended person, who enjoys a patrimonial condition of rare prosperity, decides to accept it, I hope that he wants to donate it to an association that deals with protecting women who have suffered violence, true, physical or psychological. I await the September hearing with serenityknowing that he has acted according to consciousness ».

In response to what Morgan said, Angelica wrote a message in Instagram stories: «The accused’s strategy is to take time to exhaust magistrates Of pretentious exceptions to fuck and obviously to exhaust me thinking that sooner or later it can give up ». To annoy the singer was also the statement that there was some acquittal in court: it is a “Mandatory madness” Because the magistrates decided the postponement to “face one of the many requests of the accused’s lawyers”. Then he adds Angelica: «In the classroom he also complained the excessive mediaticity. The right answer, especially in front of my silence, seems to me to make a direct Instagram by saying lies and to make a declaration (for which I am already protruding more denunciation) where it is understood that all in all I am stalking, the aggravated defamation, the stalking by prejudiced, the violation of my intimacy, the stalking and whoever has put them, underneath. Bitter the conclusion of the post: «The thing that makes me feel worse is to think of how many women are in limbo in which I find myself waiting for justice. Be strong, never give up!».
