Morgan and Angelica Schiatti: A drama in court

She speaks of harassment, insults, fear and violence, he of a difficult period, of words for which he apologizes but which are a “pebble” in the sea of ​​dozens of love poems. The distance between the positions of Marco Castoldi, alias Morgan, and his ex-girlfriend Angelica Schiatti is wide and has led to a trial against the singer for stalking and defamation, the first hearing of which took place this morning in the court of Lecco. In the courtroom, Morgan made spontaneous statements and then asked for access to restorative justice, on which the judge will decide and conclude next September 27th. Morgan and Schiatti, a relationship that ended in 2020 and then the complaint for stalking, represent two completely different versions of the same story, on which only the investigation and the court will bring clarity.

Morgan and the stalking allegations: “Anyone who goes to prison is cool and makes records, but I don’t work anymore.” The singer’s outburst

Morgan's defense

“I am completely sensitive, I respect others, stalking has nothing to do with me.” “They have destroyed me,” said Castoldi as he entered the court. “Finally, we will come out of this nightmare, out of this torture, because I am being tortured.” Following the complaint, Morgan lost a contract he had just signed with Warner, according to him because of reports that have appeared in the press in recent months, in particular alleged incidents of revenge porn and surveillance of Schiatti organized by Castoldi with the participation of two people, “crimes of which he is not accused and which were never included in the investigation file,” specified his lawyer Rossella Gallo. At the beginning of the hearing, the musician stood up and spoke spontaneously, stating that he had “also formally apologized for the language used and the behavior linked to a particularly difficult period in his life” and that he had tried to reconcile with Schiatti without “diminishing the victim's perception” because he refuses to be portrayed as a “persecutor or in connection with serious current incidents” because he is “completely incapable of laying a hand on anyone, let alone a woman”.

Restorative justice

With this foreword, Morgan asked for access to restorative justice. After leaving the courtroom, he declared that he was “glad” to have been able to speak to the judge after years of silence and that he had “nothing to hide, if they want to portray me as someone I am not, it will not succeed, in the end virtue triumphs.” Schiatti's position is diametrically opposed, who has communicated through her lawyer Maria Nirta that they have “serious reasons” to oppose restorative justice because “it is visible to all what is happening on social media, daily slanders and violent statements against Ms. Schiatti and her partner.” Morgan's ex-girlfriend, also a musician, had, according to the lawyer, “left her house in Milan because she did not feel safe” and she was the victim, not “he who presents himself as the victim”, because everything “is in the trial files”, in the hope that “the trial will be opened as soon as possible.” Even in procedural terms, the two parties are in sharp contrast to each other, on the On the one hand, Morgan and his lawyers, who strongly argue that “the lack of precautionary measures” against him is proof of his innocence, on the other hand, Nirta, who claims that the court “has not yet made a decision” after a second application was filed in July.
