Milan court rescinds home arrest for Tancredi: "End to the restriction"
In Milan, Italy, a significant urban planning investigation has exposed a "consolidated system of corruption and collusion between public and private interests." This investigation has led to charges against several key figures, including former councillor for urban regeneration Giancarlo Tancredi, former president of the Landscape Commission Giuseppe Marinoni, and entrepreneur Federico Pella.
Giancarlo Tancredi
Tancredi, during his tenure, is accused of involvement in a corrupt building system, including suspicion of corruption, false statements, and illegal incitement. The allegations suggest that he exerted influence over the landscape commission, a body pivotal in decision-making processes related to urban development.
Giuseppe Marinoni
Marinoni, as the former president of the landscape commission, is accused of corruption, particularly of being bribed along with other members of the commission to favor private developers. His significant influence over the allocation of buildable land was exploited for corrupt practices.
Federico Pella
Pella, a former manager of J+S and entrepreneur, is accused of corruption for his role in the alleged corrupt system involving the landscape commission. He resigned from his position due to the investigation, indicating his involvement in the broader scheme of colluding private interests with public officials.
The investigation has highlighted a system where key public figures, like Tancredi and Marinoni, and private individuals, like Pella, were involved in soliciting and receiving bribes to secure favorable treatment for large-scale development projects.
Court Decisions
The Review Court has annulled the order issued by Judge Fiorentini regarding Tancredi's awareness of Marinoni's conflict of interest. Entrepreneur Andrea Bezziccheri, the patron of Bluestone, had custodial custody abolished, and architect Alessandro Scandurra's house arrest was lifted on Tuesday.
The Milan Review Court has also released Tancredi, Marinoni, and Pella from house arrest. However, Tancredi faces a year-long suspension from exercising a public office or service due to the interdiction imposed as a precautionary measure. Marinoni is prohibited from practicing his profession as an architect, engaging in business, or assuming leadership roles within companies for the next 12 months.
The legal qualification for the accused changes from the most serious form of corruption for acts contrary to the duties of office to for the exercise of function.
The continuation of the investigations is not due to an obsession with urbanistic phenomena, but because the law requires it, assured Deputy Prosecutor Siciliano. The investigations will continue regardless of the outcomes of the second round between prosecutors and defenses.
