Bursting into my winery without reason does not seem like something you would do.

Of course.

Told you we'd come find you, Signor Alberto Saluzzo.

These are Saluzzo Vino's qualification documents submitted in the past months.

A group of employees have in the short span of two months, changed their positions in your company's registered profiles several times. First they were security personnel, then winemakers, then technical staff...

We have reason to suspect Saluzzo Vino is employing illegal methods to circumvent the standard background check procedure.

Please come with us to assist our investigation.

Didn't the constant changes happen because city hall keeps changing the requirements?

What's the big idea, digging up these old files so suddenly?

Don't waste your breath, these cops are obviously targeting us Saluzzos on purpose! Vaffanculo, we even paid so much in certification fees!

Anyway, don't let them take away the Don on our turf—

Stop. Don't get in the police's way.

If they're only suspecting Saluzzo Vino of circumventing background checks illegally, then it won't be difficult to resolve... we just need some time.

Listen to him.

Got it, Don Alberto.

This must have been the judge's idea.

What?

Of course, she's aware she can't do much with such a trivial offense, but she can at least keep me in jail for the next few days.

She must have gone to Venezia Junior or Eirene, otherwise you wouldn't be the one standing here right now.

I just happened to be free today.

Making such a swift decision with only just the little information she has. Decisive.

I still remember her looking so weak when she rushed to my place looking for Bernardo last year—she was a completely different person.

Telling me all this won't help. There's nothing to fear if you're truly innocent.

Of course, I'll go with you. I'll do my best to aid your investigation.

I said in court today I'm simply doing my duty as a citizen of the city.

Besides, Saluzzo Vino will not pause operations because of my temporary departure.

Demetri, I'm sure you must be familiar with our work here in Nuova Volsinii by now, yes?

Certainly, Don Alberto.

Take care of my wineries for now, manager of Saluzzo Vino.

Of course.
