TURIN. The mayor of Turin, Chiara Appendino, was sentenced to 6 months in Ream’s trial. She resisted the accusation of false ideology, while the mayor was acquitted of abuse of office.
The thesis of the prosecution
According to the Public Ministry, the Turin City Council would not have included in the 2017 budget the 5 million euros paid as a deposit by the company Ream, which during the administration led by Piero Fassino was interested in the remodeling of the old Westinghouse area, then assigned project. to the Esselunga group. Prosecutors Gianoglio and Gabetta had requested a sentence of 1 year and 2 months for Appendino.
It all started in 2012
In 2012, the subsidiary of the Crt Foundation (Ream) acquired the right of first refusal over the area where the new Turin congress center is likely to be built. To obtain this priority, she paid the City a deposit of 5 million.
However, at the end of 2013, the Municipality awarded the project to Amteco-Maiora, an operation concluded at the end of 2017. At that time, Palazzo Civico collected part of the 19.7 million offered by individuals and, consequently, there should be ” cut off “the 5th to be returned to Ream. None of this would have happened according to justices Enrica Gabetta and Marco Gianoglio. And the alleged abuse of power would have materialized into a political advantage that the mayor would have obtained from that operation. The prosecutor asked that Appendino be sentenced to one year and two months. For the lawyers of the first town – who is responsible for the alleged crimes together with his budget councilor Sergio Rolando and the director of the Financial Sector Paolo Lubbia and the former chief of staff Paolo Giordana – if there was an error in the budget calculation, this would return until 2012, that is, at the time of Fassino’s council.
