Giulio Andreotti is the witness of 3 (phone company in Italy), sitting in the aeroplane hiding behind a newspaper, but he’s recognised by an actor who says to him: “You know everything, that’s what they say…”. When they remove the black box from him (hidden in a fictitious hunchback) perhaps the rest of us will know something too. Andreotti, it’s worth saying, has handed over his recompense to charity.

3 introduces new horizons for advertising by using a "prescritto"(acquitted on grounds of expiration of statutory terms) and we, already exhausted after watching the convict Andreotti as permanent guest in TV and the full-time opinion-deliverer Paolo Mieli in the Corriere, have to put up with it, squeezed in between films, even in the advertising spots. Incredible Andreotti.

Now I’m waiting for all those parliamentarians who have been definitely convicted to be recruited in turn by the companies to give witness in return for millions of Euro.

Allow me to provide, for free, some suggestions. From the convicted criminals I would choose Maroni for l’Alitalia, Dell’Utri for l’Impregilo and Gianni De Michelis for l’Eni.

Convicts of Italy don’t worry if you are not re-elected: your future is assured anyway by advertising.
And then they say that crime doesn’t pay.
