Translated version of Le Talent De Cagnotti (Le Droit newspaper March 31 2012/see French version below)

Enrico Cagnotti speaks with confidence and assurance. He thus managed to believe that he had links with the Gambino crime family, he was an airline pilot, he knew something about construction and he had a fortune
Without the help of a lawyer, he defends himself alone on a charge of fraud over $ 10 000. It took several hours to speak to the Crown two witnesses earlier in the trial. But including the cons-examination by Cagnotti, the process took two days.
Other witnesses, including the alleged victim and a contractor cheated, waited all day yesterday outside the room while Cagnotti argued with the judge.
In the corridor of the courthouse in Maniwaki, we talked a good manipulator, who wielded great speech and his tall tales.
