Longo subsequently gave a different story: he said that when he and Fermo Solari, a member of the Action Party (which was part of the CLNAI), heard the news of Mussolini's capture they immediately agreed that he should be summarily executed and Longo gave the order for it to be carried out.
Longo a spus apoi altă poveste: că, atunci când el și Fermo Solari, un membru al Partidului Acțiunii⁠(d) (care făcea parte din CLNAI), a auzit vestea prinderii lui Mussolini, imediat au fost de acord ca el să fie executat sumar, iar Longo a dat ordinul.
