On May 19, 2014, Pisani, testifying during the trial of the Casalesi bosses and their lawyers, who had used an "istanza di remissione" to threaten Saviano and others in the courtroom, renounced the headline of the interview that he had given to the "Corriere della Sera" in 2009: "Saviano should not have bodyguards". "I don't agree with the headline of that article," Pisani declared to the judges. He also clarified the content of the investigation his team had conducted on the threats to Saviano: "We investigated and showed some photos to Saviano, who, however, did not identify them as the people who had threatened him. The decision to assign a security detail was obviously not up to us." Pisani, therefore, explained that he did not say the words pronounced in the article since the Carabinieri (Italy's national military police) were the ones who had to make the decision concerning Saviano's security detail.
