The government is following closely
the case of an Italian energy manager who is on parole in Moscow
awaiting trial reportedly on drugs charges, Foreign Minister
Antonio Tajani said Tuesday.
"We are closely following the case" of the Italian manager
detained in Moscow, "let's see what happens" said Tajani
arriving at the presentation of the book 'Seeking an Innocent
Country. La pace possibile in un mondo in frantumi' by
Ambassador Pasquale Ferrara at the Italian Embassy to the Holy
See.
The Italian energy company employing the manager detained in
Moscow said Tuesday he was on his holidays there and they were
stunned by the news that he is awaiting trial reportedly on
drugs charges.
Giovanni Di Massa, the 61-year-old Italian detained in Moscow,
"is an executive of the company, he was on holiday, we didn't
know where he was. The company is struggling with this news,
which it receives with great astonishment and amazement. He
always appeared as a calm, serious person, a great worker. One
struggles to think that his colleague could be affected by these
dynamics," said ISS International.
"The company is taking action through the Farnesina," it added,
referring to the Italian foreign ministry and explaining that it
had not yet had any contact with the executive.
