Alfieri arrested, Iannone (FdI) presents a question to the Minister of the Interior

The accusations against Alfieri are extremely serious, especially for those who hold important local administrative top positions; the serious precautionary measure of imprisonment suggests that there are very substantial findings and that the judicial authority recognizes the danger of escape or contamination of evidence or repetition of the crime; the soldiers of the provincial command of the Financial Police of Salerno have executed an order applying personal and real precautionary measures against 6 suspects who have been charged with the crimes of disrupting the freedom of auctions and corruption for an act contrary to the duties of office, simultaneously proceeding with the seizure, directly and by equivalent, of an amount exceeding 543 thousand euros; in particular, precautionary custody in prison was ordered, as mentioned, against Francesco Alfieri, as well as home detention against Victoria Of Rose e Alfonso D’Auriarespectively legal representative and special attorney of Dervit SpA, Elvira Alfierilegal representative of Alfieri Impianti Srl and sister of the mayor, Andrea Campanileemployee of the Municipality of Capaccio, part of the staff of the mayor, and Carmine Grecotechnical manager of the Municipality as well as sole manager of the procedures referred to in the disputes; the investigations, conducted jointly by the Guardia di Finanza group Eboli and by the economic-financial police unit of the Guardia di Finanza of Salerno, concern some procedures for awarding works and, in particular, that relating to the intervention of adaptation, expansion and energy efficiency of the municipal public lighting system (first functional lot ) and that relating to the “energy adaptation and requalification works of the public street lighting of the Municipality, with LED lighting fixtures and automatic regulation – remote control and remote management systems of the luminous flux” both banned by the Municipality of Capaccio-Paestum and awarded to Dervit; according to the accusatory reconstruction, currently shared by the judge for the preliminary investigations, but susceptible to subsequent further evaluations, the suspects in various capacities would have disturbed the negotiated procedures aimed at awarding the aforementioned public contracts with collusion and other fraudulent means, in order to guarantee the awarding of the works to Dervit; according to the reconstruction of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, based essentially on interceptions and on the examination of the documentation, including IT, acquired during searches carried out on 30 January 2024, long before the official calling of the indicated races, Campanile and D’Auria, operating the first in the name and on behalf of Francesco Alfieri and the second in the name and on behalf of Vittorio De Rosa, legal representative of Dervit, they had agreed on the paths to be included in the executive project concerning future tenders, the times and costs of the individual interventions , as well as any other technical detail concerning future works, taking it for granted that Dervit would be the one to win the contracts; the company, after the completion of the agreements, would have taken care, through its organizational offshoots, of the material drafting of the documents of the two procedures; at the same time, Carmine Greco, still acting on the mandate of the mayor Alfieri, had given an assignment in one of the procedures to an external professional to sign the documents physically drawn up by Dervit, also foreseeing, in exchange for a service which took the form of assuming the paternity of a elaborated to which he remained unaware, the payment of the sum of approximately 70,000 euros, which was then physically unpaid; in another procedure, Greco himself had personally assumed authorship of the documents prepared by the company that was awarded the contract.

Greco had also made every effort to invite companies that were compliant or did not have the requisites to win the tenders to participate in the negotiated procedures, in such a way as to secure the award to Dervit, pre-designated from the beginning as the winner of the negotiated procedures; a further profile of illegitimacy of the award was identified in the use of a tender procedure awarded with a reduction compared to the starting auction price of approximately 17 percent in the first and approximately 5 percent in the second, although Dervit , moreover in temporary association with another company, had already been entrusted with the ordinary and extraordinary maintenance of the lighting system of the Municipality of Capaccio with a concession contract which provided that any intervention, even innovative, on the system had to be carried out by the association of businesses, with a decrease of 33 percent; Furthermore, with reference to the second contract, the award to Dervit was carried out, according to the view deemed founded by the judge, in violation of the principle of rotation in the awarding of public contracts envisaged by the procurement code; in order to obtain funding for the second tender from the Campania Region, the Municipality, with a declaration signed by Mayor Alfieri, had falsely declared that the local lighting system was managed by a company in housewhere, vice versa, the management had been granted under concession to the aforementioned business association; given the delay, and subsequent suspension, of the disbursement of the regional financing, the Municipality of Capaccio, at the instigation of the mayor, in order to guarantee the regularity of payments to Dervit, had approved a variant appraisal, for a net value of 160,692 .26 euros, as part of the procedure relating to the adaptation, expansion and energy efficiency of the municipal public lighting system; this variant appraisal, moreover, was always adopted after preparation of the documents by Dervit; according to the precautionary measure, as consideration for obtaining the contracts indicated, Dervit had granted to Alfieri Impianti, a company legally represented by Elvira Alfieri, but in fact attributable to her brother Francesco in subcontracting and sub-assignment part of the works, carried out by the same in Battipaglia, of which it was awarded following a third and separate tender launched by the same Municipality, currently not subject to dispute, for a total amount exceeding one million euros, as well as the further sum of 250,302.60 euros, subject to preventive seizure ordered by the judge, corresponding to the higher cost of the materials supplied by Alfieri Impianti in the execution of the subcontracts indicated compared to the identical ones that Dervit purchased from the same supplier of both; identical real precautionary measure concerned the sum of 293,545.263 euros, corresponding to the profit achieved by Dervit deriving from the crime of corruption, we ask to know whether the Minister in question is aware of the serious facts exposed and what initiatives intends to adopt, without prejudice to judicial activity and the presumption of innocence, to guarantee a continuation of the administrative activities of the Municipality of Capaccio-Paestum and the Province of Salerno, which as a result of the precautionary measure find themselves without a political summit capable of act.
