"I believe that the minister is absolutely serene." Thus Silverio Sica , lawyer of the Minister of Culture, Gennaro Sangiuliano , in front of the ministry headquarters. According to the lawyer, the head of the department is "obviously sorry for his political career. From what we believe and have seen, he has been an excellent minister up to this point."

An assessment that clashes with "this controversy. It is clear that in public opinion a negative judgment can be stopped". And on the possible resignation : "I think they could also respond to his freedom of action. We as lawyers do not enter into the merits of resignation or not but if I had to express a completely personal opinion I would say that the minister could recover his freedom of action at this time with respect to a political brawl of this type by returning to being a free citizen".

Boccia's statements are also being scrutinized: "We are checking them one by one, to see if there has been a violation of the confidentiality of what was the human story that briefly brought these two people together." On the timing of the complaint, "we are waiting for the political story to calm down and then we will have the complaint signed that we will process." "There is no evidence that he was blackmailed, we certainly exclude it" and "for the material we have examined we are in the midst of a very private story. Politically, this story responds to a logic of double standards that is all Italian, the morality of the opponent is its own."
