TOthey would have put together “an alternative defensive thesis” which contemplated a possible mental defect. The two psychologists from the San Vittore prison (Paola Guerzoni and Letizia Marazzi) who drew up a report are being investigated for aiding and abetting and false ideology. report on the case of Alessia Pifferi. That is, the woman accused of multiple aggravated murder for having allowed her to die of starvation, in July 2022, his 18-month-old daughter Diana, abandoning her at home alone for six days.
Alessia Pontenani, Alessia Pifferi’s lawyer, was also investigated for false ideology. She allegedly “falsely” attested to her client an IQ of 40, i.e. a “serious deficit”, with “poor understanding of cause and effect relationships and the consequences of one’s actions”. But there was nothing true, Diana’s mother does not have mental retardation.
The prosecutor Francesco De Tommasi signed the search order against the psychologists. As explains Luigi Ferrarella on Corriere della Serathus, due to a very bold and unusual judicial initiative, a parallel trial opens.
No mental retardation for Alessia Pifferi, who let her daughter Diana die. The psychologists’ report is false
The work of the psychologists of San Vittore and in particular the “clinical diary” they wrote he had already been criticized by the psychiatrists Marco Lagazzi and Alice Natoli, consultants to the Prosecutor’s Office. In particular, the doubts concerned the implementation of the Wais psychodiagnostic test, justified with false attestations on the prisoner’s mental state, without following “good reference practices” and with “outcomes incompatible with the actual psychological characteristics of the prisoner”. All to obtain a psychiatric evaluation.
Not only that, the professionals would have done an “intensive re-reading of the case done with the accused”: in practice they would have manipulated her and led her to create an alternative truth. To the point that any new evaluation could not reveal your experience but what you discussed with the psychologists. Starting from the belief that she herself is a child. All false. Even theoretically monitoring interviews. Because «the woman was not a subject at risk of anti-conservative acts and she presented herself shinyoriented in time and space, in full possession of his mental faculties And determined».

Alessia Pifferi does not have an IQ of 40: manipulated to create a defensive thesis
The psychologists were supposed to provide assistance to the prisoner. While they carried out a «defensive consultancy, non-returnable» in their «skills» and «aimed exclusively at creating, through false statements regarding the prisoner’s mental state and the progress and contents of the interviews, the conditions for attempting to justify the administration of the psychodiagnostic test”.
The investigation also led to doubts about the “management” of four other prisoners by the same professionals. Meanwhile, the lawyer of one of the two psychologists raises the doubt that she wants to “investigate her overall work activity, accusing it more for the merit of the opinions expressed than for the method with which these opinions were reached”.
The perplexity of theLawyers’ order and the Criminal Chamber of Milan which in a common position they pointed out «the peculiarity that a pmwho opposed in the trial the admission of an expert opinion on the accused’s capacity requested also on the basis of the clinical diary, the defender also decided to investigate who used an official prison document to formulate his requests for evidence.”
