Middle world, prescription and acquittal for Alemanno for corruption. The Supreme Court confirms the illegal financing

There was no corruption, but the other is prescribed. The confirmed financing crime is a redevelopment of the crime in the traffic of influences with the penalty to be redetermined. To summarize it thus the decision of the Supreme Court on the position of Gianni Alemanno whose position was removed from the mare magnum of the trial Mafia Capital / Middle World appears much less favorable for the former mayor of Rome who receives congratulations from an excellent defendant of that trial like Salvatore Buzzi, the former ras of the cooperatives sentenced to 12 years and 10 months because the aggravating mafia fall. Alemanno on appeal he had been sentenced to 6 years and a confirmation would inevitably open the doors of the prison to him. The attorney general, Perla Lori, had asked to confirm that verdict and had asked her for a new second degree trial only to redetermine the accessory penalties and in particular the disqualification from public office.
On the corruption, however, the stoats have recognized an acquittal and a prescription, hot political topic of these days.

With the formula “for not having committed the deed”, the former minister was acquitted in the chapter concerning the tender on the recycling but he collected the prescription for the corruption disputed in the case of payment of debts Ama. The judges upheld the six-month sentence on the charges of illicit financing and have ordered a new trial before the Court of Appeal for the re-determination of the sentence and which concerns the charge re-qualified from corruption to illicit influences and which concerns the release of Eur Spa payments.

According to the indictment, between 2012 and 2014, through the former CEO of Ama Franco Panzironi, the exponent of the then An would have received, through his Fondazione Nuova Italia, over 223 thousand euros between electoral dinners, financing to his association e Cash. A substantial portion of the money would arrive in October 2014, two months after the first wave of arrests which took place on December 4th. Money, according to the indictment, arrived from the two main protagonists of the former “capital mafia” investigation: Salvatore Buzzi, at the head of the universe of cooperatives enclosed under the brand of 29 June, and Massimo Carminati, a well-known right-wing extremist. It should be remembered that the initial aggravating mafia has lapsed into Cassation for all the defendants against whom it had been challenged.

During the investigation i carabinieri of the Ros of Rome had in fact reconstructed the illicit donations of money received by Buzzi and Carminati on the current account of the New Italy. Sums for a total value of 198.500 euro they arrived in the period from January 4, 2012 to September 3, 2014, while another 25 thousand euros arrived in the current account of the then electoral agent of Alemanno. To pay those figures the subjects attributable in particular to Buzzi (Casa Comune 2000, Unicop, Eriches 29, Formula Sociale cooperative, Sarim Immobiliare and Sial Service) but also economic subjects who in some way, according to the investigators, acted in agreement with the ras of cooperatives (Edera by Franco Cancelli for the sum of 60,000 euros, coop. A Smile and Commitment for the Promotion by Sandro Coltellaci for the sum of 15,000 euros). “The foundation transfers were not made by Alemanno, who never made any payment, only the name of Panzironi appears in all the documents (the former CEO of Ama, ed) ”, His lawyers replied Franco Coppi e Pietro Pomanti. As for the 10 thousand euros given by Formula Sociale, “they were nothing more than a regular payment by bank transfer concerning the Nuova Italia Foundation “.

Among the “favors” carried out, according to the accusation, by Alemanno and his men during the period as mayor of the capital, listed by the prosecution and always strongly disputed from the then mayor, there are interventions for the provision of financing from the Municipality of Rome a Eur Spa “Aimed at allowing the payment of credits of economic subjects attributable to Buzzi and Carminati”, pressures on the vertices of Ama for the release of credits boasted by cooperative of Buzzi and interventions aimed at approving the 2012 budget and to the realization of the balance sheet, always with an eye to the interests of the cooperatives, with particular reference to the credits claimed in the enlargement works of the Roma camp of Roman Castle, in which Carminati – according to the investigative documents – was directly interested.

The judicial affair of the former mayor of the capital had begun in December 2014 with a house search and entry in the register of suspects in the context of the Mondo di Mezzo operation. The initial accusation against him was of external concurrence in the mafia-type association and corruption. For the external competition the prosecutors asked for and obtained the filing in February 2017. The position of the former mayor was, however, removed and corruption remained for him, to which illicit financing was added.
