Italians have resented, too, the spectacle of a foreign girl who could buy special treatment – an appeal – denied most of their compatriots. The wheels of Italian justice do not only spin slowly, they often require the lubricant of money to spin at all. An ordinary citizen can languish in prison for up to a year before any charges need be filed against them. “Due process” can go on, and on, for a decade. Police can carry out interrogations without recording questions or answers. Italians know that, all too often, without the proverbial bustarella, a brown envelope stuffed with euros, miscarriages of justice go unnoticed.
