Denis Verdini will go to jail. At least for a few months. In fact, the Supreme Court confirmed the appeal ruling of the former senator of Go Italy, who was therefore definitively found guilty of the bankruptcy of the Florentine cooperative credit. I 6 years and 10 months second grade have become six and a half years since four months went up in smoke due to the prescription. “The Honorable Denis Verdini will not wait for any action, he will face the situation and will surrender to jail. I told him the result of the sentence, and we cannot hide the bitterness for the decision that comes after the pg asked for a new trial ”, says his lawyer, the lawyer. Franco Coppi. And in fact at night the former parliamentarian was established in the prison of Rebibbia in Rome, although he was initially prevented from entering the structure: the Supreme Court took a while before notification the prison sentence, for which Verdini could not enter or leave. A bureaucratic problem which, as learned, has continued for four hours.
The judgment of the Supreme Court – The fifth criminal section of the Supreme Court, chaired by Paolo Antonio Bruno, did not accept the request of the Deputy Attorney General, Pasquale Fimiani, who, at yesterday’s hearing, had requested a new appeal trial for Verdini cancellation with postponement for numerous episodes related to bankruptcy. Declared on prescription, as also requested by the Attorney General, for fraud crimes related to contributions to publishers for the years 2010-11. For this matter, Verdini was convicted both in first and second instance along with 15 other defendants: on July 3, 2018, the Florence Court of Appeal sentenced him to six years and ten months in prison, reducing the sentence imposed in the first degree . what had become of new years. A sentence that comes after two postponements of the hearing before the Supreme Court for the emergency coronavirus: initially scheduled for last March, the hearing was postponed first to July 17 and with a new postponement prepared to be able to discuss, which has dragged the sentence until today.
Lawyer Coppi: “He will go to jail, he is a brave man” – For the inventor of To, the parliamentary group born in Senate To support the Renzi government, the prison doors have been opened. Lack of age: it will only be on May 8, 2021, in fact, that Verdini will buy 70, the age limit that would allow him to serve his sentence under house arrest. The former senator could therefore remain in Rebibbia jail until May. The six and a half years of sentence, among other things, exclude him from the regulations to lower pressure in prisons and combat the contagion of the coronavirus. Both the Cura Italia and the Ristori dl, approved last week, foresee that only prisoners who have the last 18 months of sentence to serve can go to house arrest. “We are deeply disappointed, both because the appeal that we had proposed seemed well founded, and above all because yesterday the Attorney General in a very motivated and very persuasive intervention had asked for the acceptance of a large part of the reasons for our appeal,” said the ‘ lawyer Coppi, defender of Verdini. Who had announced the intention to constitute his client. “Unfortunately – says Coppi – at this point it seems to me that there are no different results. Fortunately it is a very strong and very brave man and that is why we think that he will be able to face this virile test ”.
The history of the bank – Due to the history of the Florentine credit collapse, Verdini is accused in practice of having granted millionaire loans and credits no “guarantees”, on the basis of preliminary sales contracts considered fictitious. Money that was given to “people considered closeTo Verdini himself on the basis of “insufficient documentation and in the absence of a proper investigation.” In total, according to the judiciary, the turnover, reconstructed by the Florentino Ros carabinieri, would have been equal to “an amount of approximately 100 million euros“Of the loans approved by the credit board whose members, as reconstructed in the notice of closure of the investigations” participated in the exercise of the association as directors as mere executors of Verdini’s decisions. In short, according to the indictment, Verdini decided who to give and how much, while the others were limited to ratify “without raising any objection.” To start the investigation, the report of the commissioners of the Bank of Italy that in 1,500 pages he had summarized the health of Florentine credit and the anomalies found.
All other court problems … With today’s sentence, only one of the judicial events involving Verdini is stopped. The former coordinator of the People for Freedom, in fact, also has another sentence, currently only in the first degree: the five-year sentence for the bankruptcy of the Tuscany Publishing Company, who published the Tuscany Diary. You also risk another test, however auction interruption me concussion: A few weeks ago, the Rome Prosecutor’s Office closed the investigation into his account, as part of one of the lines of Consip’s trial. In other facts, he was acquitted, as in the case of the Roman investigation into the sale of the building in via della Stamperia, for which he was accused of illegal financing. He was also found not guilty on the accusation of being part of the so-called P3, considered by Roman prosecutors as a secret organization capable of influencing the functioning of constitutional bodies. In the same trial, he was also accused of illegal financing, a crime for which he was sentenced in the first instance to one year and three months in prison. But only for part of the money raised. The rest were declared prescribed, as was the abuse of power. The trial is under appeal, but now the only crime hypothesis that still stands is also prescribed. Once again, thanks to the statute of limitations, he was saved for the trial case at the School of Bailiffs, a branch of the investigation of Major Events of the Florence Prosecutor’s Office.
