Romula, September 5554 (Backdated)
The joint investigation launched by the Istalian Ministry of Justice and the Minister of Interior revealed that the Istalian intelligence was misled by communist sympathizers and underestimated the protests against the Pontesi delegation. The report proved that the CCTV footage from the area around the incident had been tampered with, showing instead a video on loop of the same locations registrered days before the attack. The investigators remarked that only people who had access to the security system could be able to put the plan in place.
Moreover, the intelligence noted that the information collected about the possible threat had been deliberately downplayed by some officials in the local police, dismissing it as a routine protest led by the opposition, and the diplomats' schedule given to the police had been manipulated as well, leading to a lack of coordination between the police officers, misleading them to patrol unrelated locations instead.
The investigation deeply damaged the cabinet's reputation as Prime Minister Coralli suddenly faced a turbulent political scandal just months before the next general election. Since the birth of Forum Liberale party, neither Magliano nor Coralli had directly attacked the Lega Socialista d'Istalia, as they sought to avoid escalating the political struggle between the two parties. But that fragile truce, one-sided promoted by the liberals, is already falling apart.
