Un giorno che ha cambiato la storia
La rigorosa ricostruzione del tentativo di assassinio di Giovanni Paolo II da parte dell'attentatore Mehmet Alì Agca.
Regia: Simone Manetti | Italia 2026
A quarantacinque anni di distanza dall’attentato a Roma a Papa Giovanni Paolo II, resta ancora il mistero su una delle operazioni più oscure e complesse del nostro Novecento. Chi c’era dietro i colpi esplosi dal terrorista turco Mehmet Ali Ağca in piazza San Pietro?
“13 maggio 1981 - Operazione Papa”, racconta cosa si muoveva dietro una fitta rete di trame, spie, informatori e governi in guerra fredda. Il documentario parte proprio dalla ricostruzione di quel giorno che ha cambiato, inesorabilmente, la storia, attraverso immagini, suoni e voci che sono ancora impresse nella memoria collettiva. Con il supporto di materiali d’archivio inediti, immagini analizzate al microscopio, registri d’intelligence e voci di chi c’era, il documentario indaga una verità multipla: quella delle spie e quella dei fedeli, della geopolitica e della devozione, del sangue e della fotografia che fermò il mondo.

00:00Thank you all.
00:47Thank you all.
01:15Thank you all.
01:43Thank you all.
02:00Thank you all.
02:04Thank you all.
02:32Thank you all.
02:34He was also the first non-Italian pope in centuries, a Polish pope in fact.
02:40It is obvious that with hindsight one must see and see the geopolitical significance of a choice of
02:48type.
02:49Let us remember that the Berlin Wall was still there.
02:52Voitila was considered a big problem for many people from the moment of his election.
03:03I must say that I personally was not surprised because just when the Pope landed in Karachi in February 1981
03:14In Pakistan, he had to go to a stadium and in that stadium a bomber exploded while carrying a bomb.
03:24So there was a kind of vibration in the air of dramatic gestures that could happen.
03:34Thank you all.
04:14It's another part after months of another part after months of kidnapping.
04:19And that day I preferred to go to the Vatican rather than photograph these little girls.
04:24We photographers also live on sensations.
04:27Sometimes we imagine excuses first in our brain and then every now and then they happen.
04:33It was a feeling of a particular day that I said but no today I want to go to the Pope.
04:44I remember very well that the Pope was standing, that he was holding himself up and this big handle that he had on his...
04:49car and with the other hand he waved at people.
04:55I was there, we were walking two meters from the car, every now and then we took a few shots when the Pope pulled
05:02on a child and greeted someone in a particular way.
05:15The Pope makes two laps of the square, one to the right and one to the left.
05:19I follow the Pope.
05:25But during the second lap at a certain point...
05:36I heard the two shots echoing in the square, it seemed like 4 or 5 because there was a Lego.
05:43Everyone stopped.
05:46And at that point I burned the car and started running away.
05:51The Pope began to bend his legs and the bodyguards went and lifted him up and tried to
05:57to get him back on his feet but he kept going down.
06:03I must have taken at least fifteen shots because there was no time to take more because the camera
06:10she suddenly darted away.
06:20Then the Vatican's security chief tried to stop me.
06:26Block the photo, block the photo.
06:29That word is still ringing in my ears.
06:32The Vatican would never have released photographs of a wounded, bleeding pope.
06:37They would never have let him out.
06:42There I didn't understand anything anymore.
06:44The only thing I had to save was this roll of film.
06:46I jumped over the barrier that separated the papal path from the people and started running in the middle.
06:53I didn't get into the car; the gendarmes at the gate hadn't yet received the order, they didn't know what had happened.
06:59And they started closing the gate.
07:00I narrowly slipped between the gate and them.
07:05In the drama of those moments the driver of the Pope's jeep absolutely did not know how to get out of it, in the sense that the
07:12Pope was losing a lot of blood.
07:15Then the Pope was transferred to an ambulance and taken to Gemelli Hospital.
07:23There was a motorcyclist who got in front of the ambulance, who guided the driver and the ambulance, but the Pope
07:29He had lost so much blood that it was unclear whether they would save him.
07:33Surgeon Crucitti said his situation was desperate, he wasn't sure he could make it.
07:44I zigzagged with the police cars of the Carabiniere and the financial guard who were going towards the Vatican
07:50and I dodged them all because they came from all sides.
07:54When I got to the office, I went in and said, don't believe it, they shot the Pope.
08:00But stop it, are you kidding us, turn on the television, as soon as they turn on the television there was already the
08:07extraordinary broadcast, the attack on the Pope.
08:16Good evening, in St. Peter's Square unknown individuals fired shots at the Pope.
08:23We do not know the conditions, that is, we do not know the state of John Paul II.
08:30The first feeling is total bewilderment, total surprise.
08:34Something had happened that could not be conceived of, that the Pope was shot right in your own home, in the
08:42your square where you are making a rounds to greet the faithful, bless the children.
08:47How could something like this have happened?
08:51The crowd that filled the square watched, petrified, as what was happening.
08:58Immediately after the shots, a series of people, including a nun called Lucia, rushed in.
09:05on the attacker because he realizes that he had pulled out a gun.
09:13She immediately grabbed his arm preventing him from shooting again and there was another nun who prevented
09:24who then fled.
09:25The officer drags the attacker to the ground. He always said he thought they would lynch him, they would
09:35killed.
09:38The police caught him, immediately took him to the Vatican police station and then straight to prison for interrogation.
09:52Mehmet Ali Agca, the 23-year-old attacker on the Pope we see in these images, is Turkish.
09:59His identity was obtained thanks to Interpol wanted bulletins.
10:09Ali Agca was at that time a young ultra-nationalist Turk who belonged to the Grey Wolves movement,
10:19so a far-right ultra-nationalist movement.
10:27Ali Agca is a professional killer, he is a relentless attacker.
10:33So much so that he killed the director of Miliet, an important Turkish newspaper.
10:40Abdi Ipekci was its director, a liberal, democratic professional who therefore, according to the dictates of the time, had to be eliminated.
10:52The Grey Wolves were a very ambitious group.
10:57An anti-European, anti-Western, anti-Christian group.
11:04Ali was the smartest of all, he was the most ambitious.
11:10Agca thought that their intention must have been to carry out an attack that would bring them to the attention of the
11:17world.
11:29At nine in the evening, half past nine, they were already in Milan.
11:32At eight in the morning they were on the page with a very famous newspaper, a very famous weekly,
11:37that the publisher blocked the workers' exit, he didn't let them leave.
11:42All night they re-wrote the cover, they re-wrote half the newspaper because they had a world exclusive.
11:50These are the images that are now part of history, not just Italian history, but world history.
12:01But there is another symbolic image of the attack on the Pope.
12:08A week after the attack, an American tourist returned to America and had the films from his vacation trip developed.
12:15When I saw the photographs he realized that in any case he had the photo of the century.
12:21He raised the machine like that without knowing what he was doing and caught him right there playing with the used gun.
12:30Taking aim in an unusual way, raising his arm because his view was obscured by those who
12:36they were in front,
12:38he raises his arm and shoots the figure, the big target.
12:47Karol Wojtyla was hit by two bullets.
12:53A bullet hits the Pope in the abdomen,
12:58the ogive comes out of the lower part of the Pope's back,
13:02while the other bullet hits the Pope in the finger and right forearm
13:09and then he would have stopped on the floor of the jeep, of the car where the Pope was.
13:17The Pope never lost consciousness during the transport from St. Peter's to the Gemelli Polyclinic,
13:24who was suffering a lot and who in Polish said Madonna mia, Madonna mia and who prayed.
13:31The surgeon who operated on Wojtyla at Gemelli told me something very interesting,
13:38that the bullet had arrived within two millimeters of the iliac vein.
13:44If it had hit her, the Pope would have died within minutes.
13:50Not only did the bullet avoid hitting the orta or other vital points,
13:58but it's as if he was zigzagging through his body something that he didn't understand at all
14:04and could not explain scientifically.
14:08Wojtyla then said the famous phrase
14:10one hand fired and another deflected the shot, the hand of the Madonna.
14:20And I remember that incredible photo of the Pope,
14:25the first photo of him at Gemelli,
14:27who wore pajamas like any sick person and was full of tubes,
14:31with an evidently suffering face, but who is photographed sitting on the bed.
14:41There was some criminologist who said that he had the gun angled downwards.
14:47and that therefore in reality he only wanted to hurt.
14:53We have to consider the movement of the crowd,
14:56people who already see him and jump on him.
15:01What has been speculated, that he wanted to hurt him, is not true.
15:05He shot to kill and pulled the trigger at least twice.
15:09I say at least because there are testimonies, quite a few, in fact,
15:14who said they heard three shots.
15:19Even the audio sequences that were listened to as expert reports
15:25they detect three to six gunshots,
15:29while instead checking Ali Akja's browning,
15:35He only fired two shots.
15:40What does this mean?
15:41That there could have been an accomplice in the square,
15:43then a second sharpshooter,
15:46which was eventually to be replaced
15:50to the possible failure of the first shooter.
15:56Immediately after the shots, then in the general stampede,
16:00this American photographer Lowell
16:03he sees a young athletic man coming towards him
16:08with a black leather jacket, beige trousers,
16:12which was running very fast towards him
16:16with a weapon held in his hand.
16:20At that moment Lowell Newton was afraid to photograph him in front of him,
16:25because the man was running and had this gun.
16:28But he still had the presence of mind to photograph it.
16:31as soon as this had passed him
16:34and so the image we have
16:36he is a dark-haired man
16:38holding something in his hand
16:40and, according to the reconstructions,
16:43he is precisely the so-called second man of St. Peter's Square.
16:58I remember sitting in front of the television
17:02waiting to see who the new Pope was.
17:19And if I tend to pronounce the name of Voitila,
17:22It was a surprise, a surprise for everyone.
17:25Praised be Jesus Christ!
17:27May He always be praised!
17:31The interesting thing was how he approached it,
17:35because his posture had nothing clerical about it,
17:39he did not remain with his hands joined like that,
17:42but there was a moment when, speaking to the crowd,
17:45he leaned on the balustrade with both hands.
17:50This image, more than words,
17:52marks a change in communication and impact,
17:55for me, crazy,
17:57because it means someone has arrived
18:00which has ways that are common ways,
18:03why lean on to advance
18:04that's what we would do,
18:05what our uncles would do,
18:07our grandmothers,
18:08to talk to someone who is under the window.
18:14And here are the cardinal events,
18:20they called a new bishop of Rome.
18:27Even though I speak Italian very well,
18:30he needed to talk
18:32and to present himself to his diocesans
18:35almost apologizing for the fact that the cardinals,
18:39as bishop of Rome,
18:40they had taken someone who came from Poland.
18:43So he said,
18:44they took him from a distant country,
18:46and then that beautiful sentence.
18:48I don't even know if I could explain myself well.
18:52in yours,
18:53our Italian language,
18:56if I'm wrong,
19:00If I'm wrong, please correct me.
19:05He immediately won over the crowd with this immediate simplicity.
19:11It was a great turning point for the contemporary Catholic Church,
19:15because it was 500 years old
19:17that there was no pope, as we Italians say, a foreigner.
19:21It was immediately evident, I think,
19:24in chancelleries around the world,
19:26the disruptive impact of having a pope
19:28who was born and who exercised his ministry beyond the Iron Curtain,
19:31because the church was a counterpoint to power
19:34and enjoyed enormous popularity.
19:36It was an essential element of the identity of the Polish people,
19:41a bulwark against totalitarianism, against communism.
19:54Immediately after the attack,
19:56the first thing DICOS does
19:57is to activate all police channels
20:00which were part of the Interpol Convention
20:02to try to understand who Ali Hachka was.
20:07Hachka had taken a room
20:10in this hotel ISA hotel
20:12which was there near St. Peter's Square
20:15near the Vatican
20:17with a document.
20:20So the first thing DICOS does
20:22is the tracking of this document,
20:25a passport that turns out to be a fake passport
20:28and slowly the data is extracted
20:31where this passport was registered
20:34in the preceding weeks and months.
20:40The fundamental step to understanding
20:43that behind Hachka's action
20:45there was something different
20:47from that of a single person's activity
20:50who at a certain point decides to carry out an attack
20:53it is the amount of contacts
20:55and relationships that he has
20:58since he was released from prison
21:00remain in military security
21:02by Karl Tal Maltepe from Istanbul
21:04in November 79
21:06until we see him in St. Peter's Square
21:09so May 81.
21:10He wanders not only through half of Europe
21:14but first he goes to Syria
21:16where he is trained
21:17in one of the paramilitary camps
21:19of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine
21:22by George Abbas
21:23and then he is sent to Iran
21:26to study the possibility
21:29of an attack against Pomeini.
21:34Returning to the Middle East
21:36he passes through Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Austria, Switzerland, Spain
21:41and then he will also go to Tunisia.
21:45Bulgaria is not one of the many stops
21:48because the length of the period tells us so
21:51where he was in Bulgaria for two months
21:53in July-August 1980.
21:57Let's say that in Bulgaria he was too
21:59to be a place of mere passage.
22:04Bulgaria becomes the epicenter
22:07the place where the plan is made.
22:19Confirmation comes when investigators identify
22:23a certain Bekir Selenk
22:25a Turkish trafficker
22:26a shipowner with offices in London
22:29who is accused of using his ships
22:32to smuggle weapons, drugs and other goods throughout Europe.
22:37Selenk had his headquarters
22:39right in Sofia. It's a company in West Germany.
22:42with some members of the Grey Wolves.
22:45Investigators believe it is
22:47the point of contact
22:49between AgSka and the Bulgarian secret services.
22:56Bulgaria was a country in Eastern Europe
22:59and therefore of communist Europe
23:01they were subjected to the Soviet bloc
23:04from a political point of view
23:06and from a military point of view.
23:07There are obviously parts of the Passaglia pact.
23:10They were considered among the most faithful
23:12Moscow's absolute allies.
23:14That's why thinking about Bulgaria
23:16when the clues, let's say, began to materialize
23:20towards Bulgaria
23:21the Soviet Union was thought of.
23:28Wojtyla was considered from the moment of his election
23:32a big problem for the Moscow leadership.
23:36why the idea of having a Polish cardinal
23:41who suddenly became pope
23:44of a community of over a billion
23:48of the faithful in the world
23:49the line is also taken into account
23:52fundamentally opposed to communism
23:55especially even if silently
23:57this was immediately considered a problem
24:01within the politburo
24:03and also within the Polish leadership, of course.
24:08Then it was a shock
24:10the fact that the Pope already in the first year
24:12immediately after his election
24:13wanted to go to Poland.
24:29It was the first time that a pope
24:31he was tied behind the Iron Curtain
24:33what's more, he was the Polish pope.
24:36So this visit
24:38the Soviet authorities
24:40they would have liked it not to happen
24:43and which they had opposed.
24:45That the Polish authorities
24:47they wouldn't have liked it
24:49it happened because the Polish authorities
24:51he realized he had to do
24:52a face to the bad game.
24:53Catholicism was too strong in Poland
24:56you couldn't say no
24:58to the Polish Pope
24:59that he wanted to do
25:00a trip to his country.
25:07So in the summer of 1979
25:09the Pope arrived in Poland
25:11and found a crowd
25:13to welcome.
25:20The message that the Pope sent
25:23it was not directly political
25:25but spiritual
25:27and it was summarized
25:29in the formula
25:29don't be afraid
25:31and it was intended above all
25:33don't be afraid
25:34to be Catholic
25:36all the way
25:37to demonstrate
25:38don't be afraid
25:39of repression.
25:43The Pope's journey
25:44had determined
25:45an awakening
25:47and then they woke up
25:48even the energies
25:49of the opponents
25:50of the regime.
25:54But from there onwards
25:55there was evolution
25:57which led to the birth
25:58of solidity
25:59an important word
26:00in culture
26:02Catholic in general
26:03solidarity.
26:08Solidarity
26:09he brought together workers
26:10of a large part
26:11of Poland
26:12and not only
26:13workers
26:14why it became
26:15progressively
26:16a container
26:17of all oppositions
26:19to the regime.
26:22At the head of Solidarity
26:24there was
26:24Lech Valuesa
26:25a worker
26:27electrician
26:28that already
26:29had suffered
26:30some measures
26:31by the regime.
26:37and in 1980
26:39Solidarity
26:40he managed to
26:41impose
26:42to the government
26:43an agreement
26:44in which
26:45in some places
26:46there was freedom of association
26:48the recognition
26:49of the law
26:49of strike
26:50and then
26:50the rieto
26:51to persecute
26:52the strikers
26:53and freedom
26:54of expression
26:56and access
26:56to the means
26:57of communication.
27:00Solidarity
27:00represented
27:01an example
27:02that could have
27:02to be followed
27:04elsewhere
27:04and that was it
27:05that was alarming
27:05Very
27:07the Soviet Union.
27:10July 22nd
27:111981
27:13AXCA
27:14is being processed
27:15by direct route
27:17and in only
27:18eight days
27:18he is sentenced
27:19to life imprisonment
27:20for the attack
27:21to John Paul II.
27:24Not even a year later
27:25at the end of April
27:27of 1982
27:29asks
27:30to the investigating judge
27:31Ilario Martella
27:32to confer
27:33urgently
27:34with him
27:34because it has some
27:35statements
27:36to do.
27:38AXCA
27:39he told me
27:40that he was willing
27:41to collaborate
27:41and that he
27:43had acted
27:44let's say
27:45as a performer
27:47of this order
27:48to kill
27:49the Pope

27:53of the authorities

28:38of the emission
28:39of the provision

28:41they were already there
28:41in Bulgaria
28:42so they were already
28:44under cover
28:44safe
28:46while the only one
28:48exposed
28:48It's Antonov
28:50this gray

28:58and the headquarters
28:59of the Black Balca
28:59in Fiumicino
29:02initially
29:03I compared
29:04what he was saying
29:05Antonov
29:06and Aschka
29:07all that
29:09what Aschka said
29:10In short
29:12incredibly
29:13I indicate
29:15incredibly
29:16corresponded
29:17to reality
29:20Aschka
29:21he seasoned
29:21of having been
29:22hosted
29:23even at home
29:24of the same
29:25Antonov family
29:28to know
29:29that Antonov
29:30he smoked
29:31some cigars
29:32Cubans
29:33and everything
29:35what I said
29:35I found it
29:38one thing
29:39it struck me
29:40in particular
29:41of the various
29:41details
29:43or information
29:43which provides
29:44Aschka
29:45to support
29:46his accusations
29:47towards
29:48by Sergei Antonov
29:49that's it
29:50of passion
29:52of the lobby
29:52that Antonov
29:53I had
29:54to collect
29:55some little bottles
29:56of spirits
29:58so-called
29:58mignon
29:59it's a detail
30:00which is part
30:01of life
30:01of a person
30:02that only
30:03who attends
30:04that person
30:04can
30:05know
30:06can't
30:07to be
30:08taken
30:08from
30:09a dossier
30:10of the services
30:10secrets
30:11it's a detail
30:12too intimate
30:14the Digos
30:15Roman
30:16he arrested
30:17this morning
30:17a Bulgarian
30:18responsible
30:19Together
30:19to Ali Agcha
30:20of the attack

30:22of May 13th
30:2380
30:23the stranger
30:25Sergei
30:25Ivanov
30:26Antonov
30:26it has been achieved
30:27from men
30:28of the Digos
30:29who acted
30:29behind
30:30a mandate
30:30of capture
30:31of the magistrate
30:31Hammer
30:32who believes
30:33that the Bulgarian
30:34be responsible
30:35of competition
30:36material
30:36in the attack
30:37to the pontiff
30:39Antonov
30:39he is accused
30:40of complicity
30:41and arrested
30:42since that day
30:44Exactly
30:44since that day
30:45by regime
30:46Bulgarian
30:47Italy
30:48it's a country
30:49enemy
30:50from there
30:51start
30:52a whole story
30:53parallel
30:54underground
30:55which part
30:56from Sofia
30:57and then it arrives
30:57up to East Berlin
30:58finalized
30:59to destroy
31:00the instructor
31:01in Martella
31:02because the risk
31:03is that
31:03Antonov
31:04could
31:05somehow
31:06to give in
31:07to the pressure
31:08judicial
31:09and confess
31:10it is not known exactly
31:11What
31:11but they feared
31:12of confessions
31:17during my
31:18phase
31:18under investigation
31:19there was
31:19of the newspapers
31:21which exalted
31:22my investigation
31:23and others
31:24instead of me they were
31:24on me
31:26and I
31:26when I went to America
31:28the Bulgarians
31:29they took advantage
31:30to say
31:30that I was going
31:31to learn
31:32information
31:33their
31:33you miss me
31:34this is
31:35crazy
31:36moment in which
31:38the Bulgarians
31:39they have confirmation
31:40that there is a judge
31:41instructor
31:42in Rome
31:42who is investigating
31:43in a manner
31:44very heavy
31:45towards
31:46of three citizens
31:46Bulgarians
31:47by
31:48by Sofia
31:48there is almost
31:49the certainty
31:50mathematics
31:51that Hammers
31:51be part of
31:52of the conspiracy
31:54of the countries
31:55Westerners
31:56against Bulgaria
31:57and then
31:57against everything
31:58the system
31:59of the countries
31:59socialists
32:02the action
32:03defensive
32:04by
32:05of the regime
32:06by Sofia
32:06it even snaps
32:07many months before
32:08of the arrest
32:09by Antonov
32:10snap
32:10August 26th
32:12of 1982
32:13When
32:14is reached
32:15an agreement
32:16between the minister
32:16of the interior
32:17Bulgarian
32:18Stojanov
32:18and the minister
32:20for safety
32:21of the state
32:21of Germany
32:22of the east
32:23Milke
32:23to do
32:25let's say
32:25wall
32:26and unleash
32:27an offensive
32:28towards
32:29of the countries
32:30Westerners
32:30that they were
32:31let's say so
32:32brigand
32:33to affirm
32:34that the attack
32:35to the Pope
32:36it had been
32:36suggested
32:37from Moscow
32:38with the arm
32:38armed
32:39of Bulgaria
32:43also because
32:44they have
32:45pre-alarm states
32:46from the activity
32:48of a journalist
32:49American
32:50which was
32:50Claire Sterling
32:51that will come out
32:52in September
32:53of 1982
32:55with an article
32:57very long
32:58on Reader's Digest
32:59throwing
33:00this reconstruction
33:01in which
33:02Hachkasi
33:02would be moved
33:03within
33:04of a conspiracy
33:04inspired
33:05from Moscow
33:05since
33:07I wrote
33:07the first line
33:08on this
33:09little face
33:09the Bulgarians
33:10they suffered
33:10announced
33:11that have been
33:12I
33:13to say
33:14what he had to say
33:15and to say
33:16in Madaduzzi
33:17Hammer
33:17what he had to say
33:18to Atza
33:19to say
33:19Now
33:20this is what I find
33:21Truly
33:21not only
33:22offensive
33:22but imbecile
33:23first of all
33:24because I
33:25by Antonov
33:26I didn't know
33:26Nothing
33:27when I wrote
33:27first
33:28the activity
33:30of Sterling
33:30Nothing
33:32has to do with
33:32with the activity
33:33preliminary investigation
33:34by Martella
33:35and the
33:35statements
33:36by Hachkasi
33:36not nothing
33:37it had leaked
33:39from that activity
33:40she had done
33:40one of his
33:41reconstruction
33:46after the exit
33:47of the article
33:48of Sterling
33:49the hawks
33:50of the administration
33:51Reagan
33:52inspired
33:53from the former
33:53secretary
33:54of State
33:55Henry Kissinger
33:56they saw
33:57in that investigation
33:57journalism
33:58an opportunity
33:59extraordinary
34:01to attack
34:02Fly
34:02riding
34:03a track
34:04that he didn't have
34:04findings
34:05such as to be able to
34:06hold up
34:06an accusation
34:07so serious
34:07towards
34:08from Moscow
34:17Reagan
34:18it was a turning point
34:19to the relationships
34:20with the countries
34:21of the east
34:21in the sense
34:22which he presented
34:22right away
34:23the Soviet Union
34:24like the empire
34:24of evil
34:25with which
34:26it was necessary
34:26react
34:27in a manner
34:28more effective
34:28and then
34:29move on
34:30with the missiles
34:31start the programs
34:33of space shield
34:34to prepare
34:34to a comparison
34:35increasingly harder
34:37towards
34:37of the Soviet Union
34:38to commit
34:40more and more
34:40the Soviet Union
34:41and search
34:42to put
34:42somewhat less
34:43on the defensive
34:43so here it is
34:45that on the attack
34:47to the Pope
34:47the secret services
34:49Americans
34:49that they had
34:50of the agents
34:51very smart
34:52to throw away
34:53the fault
34:54on the opposing field
34:55on the Bulgarians
34:57and there obviously
34:58the whole block
35:00which was remade
35:02to the Soviet Union
35:03he tried to react
35:04Why
35:05he felt
35:07attacked
35:09the documents
35:11who survived
35:12to collapse
35:13of Germany
35:15of the East
35:15that have been
35:16recovered
35:17many have been
35:18restored
35:19as regards
35:20this story
35:21they survived
35:22some acts
35:23of the so-called
35:24Operation Pope
35:25Operation Papst
35:26these documents
35:29they show
35:30all meetings
35:32that the East Germans
35:34talking to
35:36the KGB
35:37they tried
35:38to do
35:39to remove
35:40the fault
35:40from Bulgaria
35:41that at that moment
35:43from the west
35:43he was located
35:44attacked
35:48Obviously
35:49Obviously
35:50in this climate
35:52incandescent
35:53they entered
35:54all the major services
35:56of the time
35:57everyone
35:58each
35:58with its own goal
36:00but
36:00the most delicate aspect
36:02is this activity
36:03systematics
36:05which is put
36:06on the field
36:07upon request Bulgarian
36:08by
36:09of East Germany
36:10towards
36:11of Italy
36:11and above all
36:12towards
36:13of the Italian judicial authority
36:15that was taking care of
36:16of the attack on the Pope
36:21Antonov
36:21it's inside
36:22and has
36:23given signals
36:24serious collapse
36:25fear
36:26that he was
36:27collapsing
36:29the urgency
36:31it was a real one
36:32vital necessity
36:33to take out
36:35from prison
36:35Antonov
36:36he did yes
36:37That
36:37decided
36:38to implement
36:39two active measures
36:41the first
36:41it was that
36:42to force
36:43the examining magistrate
36:44to loosen
36:45the grip
36:45on Antonov
36:46and put it back
36:47at liberty
36:48so as to be able to
36:49allow
36:49to the Bulgarians
36:50to stay calm
36:51in such a way
36:52that it could be done
36:53move on
36:54without fear
36:54that Antonov
36:55could give way
36:56and confess
36:57on the other
36:58it was to intervene
36:59on Hachka
37:00to make him understand
37:02that had arrived
37:02the moment
37:03to close
37:03the tap
37:04denying
37:05what he
37:06had in the meantime
37:07declared
37:19June 20th

37:31he was a very tall man
37:32official
37:33of the service
37:33Bulgarian secret
37:35accompanied
37:36from one
37:36of the agents
37:37operational
37:37more efficient

37:41June 20th
37:42and they are in Rome
37:44until June 24th

38:03Emanuela Orlandi
38:10I wish
38:12squeeze

38:38by Emanuela Orlandi
38:41asking
38:42to leave

38:45two days later
38:47July 5th
38:48to the press room
38:49of the Holy See
38:50a phone call comes in
38:51And
38:53let's free
38:54there

38:59I listen
38:59Yes
39:02we want this
39:04we want
39:05HK
39:06an exchange
39:09to be carried out
39:10by a date
39:11precise
39:12July 20th
39:131983
39:14the exchange
39:17era
39:17the liberation
39:19by Emanuela Orlandi
39:20with the release from prison
39:21from HK
39:26what is surprising
39:29is that
39:29the timing
39:31of this
39:32so-called
39:33negotiation
39:34it matched
39:35perfectly
39:36with the mission
39:38of the examining magistrate
39:39Ilario Martella
39:40in Sofia
39:41for the performance
39:43of the rogatory
39:43international
39:44in Bulgaria
39:45in the context
39:46of the investigation
39:47on the attack
39:48to the Pope
39:51all this
39:52activity
39:53frantic
39:54of pressure
39:56towards
39:57of the Italian authorities
39:58but above all
39:59of the Vatican authorities
40:00Why
40:01in the press release
40:02dictation
40:03to the press room
40:04he who
40:05claimed the kidnapping
40:06he asked
40:07to John Paul II
40:08to take an active part
40:10towards
40:11of the Italian government
40:12so that
40:13the Italian government
40:14would grant
40:15presidential pardon
40:16to Hachka
40:16I was Italian
40:19I have to answer
40:20with permission
40:24I'm tempted
40:27for the attack
40:29to the Pope
40:29during the so-called
40:31negotiation
40:32it will never be done
40:33Antonov's name
40:34While
40:35it comes repeatedly
40:37made the name
40:38by Hachka
40:39as a counterpart
40:40to the liberation
40:42of the girl
40:43Antonov remains
40:44in prison
40:44Despite
40:46the reiterated ones
40:47instances
40:48of expulsion
40:48they presented them
40:51I don't know
40:51at least ten
40:52of instances
40:53to get
40:54the expulsion
40:55at least house arrest
40:56because in reality
40:58the whole negotiation
40:59for liberation
41:00of the girl
41:01she was tied up
41:01in this aspect
41:02principal
41:03and in fact
41:04the situation
41:05it unlocks
41:06only when
41:07we are now
41:08on the eve
41:10of the opening
41:10of the process
41:11in the assize court
41:12are granted
41:13house arrest
41:14to Antonov
41:15it's a few minutes
41:16makes the news
41:17that Sergei Antonov
41:19the official
41:20of airlines
41:21Bulgarian
41:21accused of complicity
41:22in the attack on the Pope
41:23he is no longer a prisoner
41:24to King Bible
41:25he moves
41:26under house arrest
41:27in an apartment
41:28of this building
41:29of the Bulgarian Embassy
41:30Antonov
41:31he had to go out
41:32from prison
41:33because it was
41:34almost arrived
41:35to the point
41:35to confess
41:36which he actually had
41:37meeting in Tocca
41:38his confession
41:40would have
41:41created
41:43a problem
41:43geopolitical
41:45and then
41:46he couldn't
41:47the regime
41:48by Sofia
41:48risk
41:49that that
41:50official gray
41:52confessed
41:53to have
41:54at least
41:55encountered
41:55sometimes
41:56Atschka
41:56in 1981
42:05and from that moment on
42:07the case
42:08Orlandi
42:08disappears
42:09he comes
42:10unhooked
42:12abandoned
42:12from those
42:13that they had it
42:14claimed
42:15Why
42:15at least
42:16one of the results
42:17it had been
42:17achieved
42:18that is to say
42:19the exit
42:20from prison
42:21by Antonov
42:25with this location
42:26I can say
42:27just to conclude
42:28which in fact
42:29the disappearance
42:32Of
42:32Emanuele
42:33Orlandi
42:34it was about
42:34nothing else
42:35That
42:35an action
42:38criminal
42:40and criminal
42:40accomplished
42:42For
42:43reasons
42:45politicians
42:51in September
42:52those who
42:53they claimed
42:54the kidnapping
42:55of the girl
42:56they let it be known
42:57that is no longer there
42:58nothing to do
42:58the operation
42:59it would have gone on
43:01beyond
43:01of the parenthesis
43:02Orlandi
43:03from that moment on
43:05they will not provide
43:06no more evidence
43:07on existence
43:08in life
43:09Of
43:09Emanuela
43:10Orlandi
43:11the hypothesis
43:12is that it was
43:13already been
43:14sacrificed
43:18remained
43:18What
43:20the main one
43:22accuser
43:23of the Bulgarians
43:24that would have been
43:25had to present
43:26in court
43:27of assizes
43:28and confirm
43:36the accusations
43:37and there
43:38they didn't have
43:39still clear
43:39if
43:40Hachka
43:40had
43:41understood well
43:42the signal
43:43that was his
43:44been sent
43:44but actually
43:46Hachka
43:46he had understood well
43:47not only
43:48the signals
43:49that were
43:49were sent
43:50throughout
43:51the so-called
43:51negotiation
43:52Orlandi
43:53but he had
43:54immediately
43:55intuition
43:55the change
43:56in step
43:57of history
43:59had arrived
44:01the moment
44:01Of
44:02close
44:02the mouth
44:05I am not
44:07God
44:07I am not
44:08the son
44:09of God
44:10the Gospel
44:11was
44:12changed
44:13I give
44:14Jesus Christ
44:15coltanto
44:16an angel
44:17in shape
44:18human
44:20with those
44:21statements
44:22him
44:22was breaking down
44:24the process
44:24he was destroying
44:25the instructor
44:26hammer
44:26he made people believe
44:28to the judges
44:29of the court
44:30that everything
44:30what
44:30he had told
44:31era
44:33fake
44:34the process
44:35it was marked
44:36from day 1
44:37from this
44:38intervention
44:39by Hachka
44:41during the
44:42debate
44:43more than once
44:44he was doing in
44:45and out
44:46with
44:46This
44:47attitude
44:48once
44:48he was saying something
44:49confirming
44:50straightness
44:51circumstances
44:52very precise
44:52and the other time
44:54he let himself go
44:54to some statements
44:56delirious
44:56in quotation marks
44:58because it was
44:59a strategy
44:59very precise
45:04Aliyah Chah
45:05who is a character
45:06complex
45:06who launched
45:07the messages
45:08most disparate
45:10bringing up
45:10the most disparate people
45:12connecting cases
45:13different
45:14he still has then
45:15wanted to meet
45:16John Paul II
45:18and John Paul II
45:19visiting the prison
45:20of Rebibbia
45:21he went
45:22and it was
45:23from him
45:25we have
45:26these images
45:27impressive
45:28in which
45:29at a certain point
45:29the Pope
45:29that is approaching
45:30Why
45:31Hachka
45:31he wants to tell him something
45:32almost to the ear
45:33almost like a confession
45:39he didn't ask him
45:40the reasons
45:41of the attack
45:44of his action
45:45he concentrated
45:47rather
45:48on man
45:49on his path
45:51spiritual
45:52on forgiveness
45:55I forgive my brother
45:56that struck me
45:57this is
45:58it is not
45:59let's say
45:59it's not a given
46:00but it is profoundly Christian
46:02for which he
46:03he forgave
46:18the process
46:19which should have
46:20clarify the plot
46:21of the conspiracy
46:22establishes
46:23a single fixed point
46:24the defendants
46:25Bulgarians
46:25they are not guilty
46:26or at least
46:27there is no evidence
46:28to be able to condemn them
46:29the process
46:30will end
46:31with the solution
46:32of the Bulgarians
46:33because the results
46:35of the research
46:36they didn't try
46:37the guilt
46:40of those
46:40which had been indicated
46:42as possible
46:43attackers
46:44not even their presence
46:46in the square
46:47it was demonstrated
46:48and then
46:49inevitably
46:51they had to
46:53absolve them
46:55they said
46:56that the elements
46:57of guilt
46:57there were
46:58wide
46:59towards
47:00of all
47:00but what
47:00these elements
47:02of responsibility
47:03they were such
47:04not to be allowed
47:05the solution
47:07with full hole
47:08but with a doubtful formula
47:10and were acquitted
47:11for shortcomings
47:12of evidence
47:12to them
47:13that Antonio
47:14was freed
47:16or with the solution
47:17with full hole
47:18or with full hole
47:19but
47:20it is not
47:21on the importance
47:23to save himself
47:25in the end
47:25they will not be
47:26only
47:26the instigators
47:27by Ajka
47:28even his accomplices
47:29starting
47:30from whom
47:30that May 13th
47:32he was in the square
47:34with him
47:35this person
47:36has
47:37an identity
47:38that oscillates
47:39among various names
47:41because then
47:41Ajka
47:42he wanted
47:42confirm
47:43deny several times
47:45that it could be
47:46state
47:46photographed
47:47his friend
47:48as always
47:49Oral Celik
47:50in truth
47:51the figure
47:52of that man
47:53it doesn't match
47:54it doesn't match
47:55to the figure
47:56by Oral Celik
47:57could be
47:58another accomplice
48:00That
48:00Ajka
48:01he wanted
48:02hold
48:02covered
48:03Why
48:04this accomplice
48:06could be
48:07one of the characters
48:09most important
48:10of the organization
48:11of the so-called
48:12gray wolves
48:18Ajka
48:19After
48:20the sentences
48:21which followed one another
48:22Therefore
48:22court of assizes
48:23of appeal
48:23and cassation
48:24he intervened
48:25above all
48:25in a moment
48:26very delicate
48:27in 1997
48:29on his own initiative
48:31it was now
48:32an inmate
48:33final
48:35forgotten
48:35and decides
48:36in 1997
48:37in the end
48:39of the summer
48:40Of
48:42to address
48:43a letter
48:44just like a hammer
48:45he said
48:47that having said
48:48the whole truth
48:49with a hammer
48:49on the track
48:50Bulgarian
48:51and that actually
48:52the Bulgarians
48:53they were
48:53those who had
48:55shared
48:56to the implementation
48:58of the last piece
48:59of the attack
49:00of the conspiracy
49:01but what
49:02he was
49:03arrived
49:04to the conviction
49:06That
49:07his story
49:09it hadn't been
49:10adequately
49:12rewarded
49:13compared to the tenor
49:15of the statements
49:15which had made
49:16from the Italian authority
49:17and then
49:17he decided
49:18to take revenge
49:19wrecking the process
49:21him
49:22he gave
49:23I believe
49:25have been
49:25classified
49:26as at least
49:27107 versions
49:29different
49:30of the attack
49:31Therefore
49:31it's difficult
49:32succeed in
49:33understand the truth
49:35listening
49:36Agia
49:36in those that are
49:37its
49:37statements
49:38officers
49:39but he
49:41he did it
49:41to save themselves
49:42life
49:42from a certain
49:44point of view
49:45humanly
49:46if we think about it
49:47it is also
49:48understandable
49:49because if he
49:50had told
49:51the truth
49:52if he
49:53had
49:54indicated
49:55the instigators
49:56above all
49:58his life
49:59it wouldn't be
49:59was
50:00long
50:29had
50:59had
51:30had
51:30his
51:30had
51:31had
51:31to
