He detected two anomalies – one in the beginning of March and the second between March 19 and March 23, 2009. He predicted that the main shock will occur during one week, i.e. until March 30, 2009. The Major Risks Committee was held on March 31. There were seismologists and rescue workers inside this committee. They marked G. Giuliani as a charlatan, forced him to remove his prediction from net and prohibit him any access to media. Later, they declared that there will be no catastrophic event, because observed seismic swarms are common in this area. The observations by G. Giuliani were of high quality from the scientific point of view, but when we compared his anomalies with the tilt measurement in Central Europe (Příbram, Lubeník) or in the south...
