Assets of 2 former Catanzaro hospital managers released from seizure

(ANSA) – CATANZARO, APRIL 22 – The Court of Auditors has revoked the seizure of movable and immovable assets worth over five million euros which had been ordered last 27 March by the jurisdictional section of the same accounting justice body against of two managers of the former “Pugliese-Ciaccio” hospital in Catanzaro, Elga Rizzo, aged 53, and Vittorio Prejanò, aged 67, for alleged damage to the organisation’s coffers. The facts alleged against the two managers date back to approximately ten years ago and concern the failure of the former hospital to receive large sums due to a settlement agreement stipulated in 2014 with the private nursing home “Villa Sant’Anna” in relation to the credits claimed by the Company from the clinic for the supply of blood and blood products. The Court ordered the release of seizure, stating that “the accusatory arguments are partial” and that “it is not obvious that Elga Rizzo and Vittorio Prejanò”, defended respectively by the lawyers Alfredo Gualtieri and Luigi Combariati, “acted ‘motu proprio’ as the transaction with the ‘Villa Sant’Anna’ nursing home starts from an internal request from the director of the transfusion center of the former hospital, who was the subject responsible for the service of blood products”.
