Verona, sexy blackmail of two priests: “Money or we spread messages and photos”
“In exchange for our silence” they demanded money from two priests. Churchmen who have fallen into the sexual trap of a young couple of extortionists unscrupulous: “We want money – they had told two Veronese parish priests who got caught up in their hard blackmail – otherwise we will make compromising messages and images public“.
The shots secretly
The shrewd plan of the two criminals provided for very specific roles: while the girl exchanged photos and confidences with the religious, drawing them into her enchanting “network”, the accomplice secretly immortalized the meetings at the bar between the young woman and the religious. After that, once the young woman had won the trust of the priests and that her friend had in the meantime taken the evidence, or the photos, of that “confidential” relationship, they began blackmail and threats to trapped priests. This, according to the accusations, the “diabolical” modus operandi with which a young couple would deceive two parish priests – the first of Lessinia, the second of the Bassa – to extort money from them. One of the clerics paid, while the other decided to file a complaint.
The trap with the (fake) tear-jerking story
The facts date back to the spring of two years ago, between April and June 2020: on May 26, to crown the investigation conducted by prosecutor Carlo Boranga, judge Livia Magri closed the case condemning both 22-year-old defendants in abbreviated form: she, SD of the Bassa, will have to serve 4 years and 4 months of imprisonment; while he, SS of Rovigo, was inflicted 3 years and 4 months. The two, in June 2020, were arrested after the second sexy blackmail, the one against a priest of Lessinia: according to the accusations, the girl had met the priest three times but in the meantime, helped by her accomplice, he recorded messages and collected photos. The priest filed a complaint after the request for 10 thousand euros and after giving the couple one envelope containing 350 euros. When they met, the young woman had sent him a series of messages, telling him she is a single mother, abandoned by the baby’s father and forced to live with her parents for lack of money. The clergyman, in good faith, had listened to the tearful story and he had made himself available to meet her in a barjust to comfort her and find a way to help her.
The second blackmail
initially they exchanged confidences for the foreseen weeks, then it was exchanged for the weeks. Faced with the blackmail, the religious had however turned to the carabinieri of San Bonifacio: the military waited for the parish priest to hand over 350 euros to the young woman before arresting both of them. After the validation they returned free with the obligation to sign, but in the course of the subsequent investigations a second sexy blackmail emerged: a victim of extortion, which dates back to April 2020, a priest from the Bassa. In this case, the Public Prosecutor disputes the episode only to the girl, who with the same alleged “technique” he would have the sum of 570 euros credited to the rechargeable Poste Pay card “With the threat of spreading the previous instant messaging conversations between you and the priest.” To the latter, then, a few weeks later the girl would return to ask another 3 thousand euros. But even in this case, however, the priest denounced her, also freeing himself from the blackmail. Yesterday, in addition to condemning them, Judge Magri also ordered the confiscation of cell phones and SIMs and therefore, of the “evidence” especially within them.
