...same hotel was also the site of the blackmail set-up, German police say. On August 21, 2007, the couple met in room 629. Next door, Italian Ernano Barretta filmed the rendezvous. Barretta was arrested along with Sgarbi in January last year, as they sat in a car waiting for their next chunk of cash. On March 23, an Italian court in Pescara will decide whether Barretta, 63, has a case to answer. Barretta, the leader of a Christian sect in northern Italy of which Sgardi is a member, says he is "100% innocent...

After all, traditionally, the religious roster at presidential swearing ins looked something like the set-up to an old joke: "A priest, a pastor and a rabbi walk into an Inauguration ..."
