After progress in the investigation, the Lazio president stated: "I have never reported anyone; I just want to continue doing my job well. I am very happy to have the support of Cragnotti."

With preliminary substantive progress in the investigation, Lotito can finally talk about the torment he has endured over the years. The Lazio president expressed a certain sense of relief regarding the progress of this judicial investigation, which targets individuals such as Francesco Maiolini, a director at Fucino Bank, with the proposed charge being market manipulation. The related accusations include false information, deliberately orchestrated media attacks, and influencing Lazio's share price through pressure to force Lotito to sell the club.

In an interview with Corriere della Sera, Lotito clarified his actions: "I have never named anyone to the investigators. I submitted a complaint against unknown persons, and these names were uncovered during the investigation. If these people want to take legal action, as I understand it, they are perfectly free to do so. I have spoken about everything I suffered over these three years, the pain I silently endured, things you cannot even imagine."

Lotito then elaborated further: "This never stopped, it happened day and night, even on Christmas, New Year's Day, and Epiphany. My bodyguards know best because they were often the ones listening to these calls. As a senator, I am proud that I waived my immunity, allowing the Rome prosecutor to access my call records. In the history of Palazzo Madama, not many people have done what I did. I am equally proud to be the longest-serving president in Lazio's history. I just want to continue doing my job well."

In terms of tenure, he even surpassed a well-known predecessor: "Do you want to know what made me happiest recently? It was the words of Sergio Cragnotti. Last Saturday, when he watched Lazio play Milan at the Stadio Olimpico, he praised both Lazio and Gattuso's team. We were sitting very close, and he even complimented the team."

Finally, Lotito also apologized to the fans, although the rift between them remains evident: "I want to apologize for something that makes me feel responsible, for some mistakes made, such as certain technical decisions I approved in the past, but don't ask me which ones specifically. I wrote an open letter through Il Messaggero in June, and some of my statements may have been interpreted differently. I will continue to work to improve this. But everyone should know that every decision I make is always solely based on the interests of Lazio."
