Laura afferma: «[...] Francesco De Robertis [...] non aveva aderito a Salò , era ricercato perciò come ufficiale di marina "disertore" e tuttavia aveva potuto lavorare indisturbato a Venezia, senza dubbio con documenti di identità falsi, grazie al produttore Michele Scalera che lo aveva voluto come suo uomo di fiducia [...]» Ernesto G.
