House arrest was ordered for Gianluca Jacobini and Giacomo Fusillo, while Vito Fusillo and Marco Jacobini were banned for a year. House arrest was also ordered for Nicola loperfido (former Popolare executive), Vincenzo Elio Giacovelli (director of Melograno Eventi), Girolamo Stabile (representative of investment funds with offices abroad), Salvatore leggiero (Campania property developer, Roma Trevi representative). The controversial accusatory hypotheses are fraudulent bankruptcy and car laundering.
Marco and Gianluca Jacobini had already been arrested in January, as part of the investigation into the collapse of Banca Popolare, for which they are currently on trial, with complaints of false accounting and obstruction of supervision. For both, the measure of house arrest has recently been replaced by one of interdiction: for Marco it is forbidden to stay in Bari and for Gianluca to stay in Polignano.
The investigation of Fusillo – carried out by the economic-financial police unit of the financial police (led by Colonel Luca cioffi) and coordinated by the fiscal vicar Roberto Rossi and since the afternoon Lanfranco Marazia – revolves around the bankruptcy of the Fimco and Maiora companies and the subsequent transfer of shares and funds in companies controlled by the same Noci entrepreneurs.
According to the hypotheses of the investigators, the Popular Bank would have granted credit to the Fusillos, although aware of the absolute impossibility of returning. In this way, the debt of the entrepreneurs would have reached about 340 million. Fusillo and “the dominant banking partner – it is written in the court order Luigia Lambriola – They would have operated according to an opaque strategy, displacing significant segments of assets in favor of third economies, such as investment funds with offices abroad, whose direct or indirect control was controlled by Banca Popolare di Bari and the Fusillo group. In this way, the assets stolen from companies that went bankrupt today remained in the hands of the defenders of the illegal initiative.
According to the judge, “we have reached the progressive construction of what we can call a gigantic house of debt.” This house of debt would have been “through a myriad of suspected extraordinary transactions between companies – writes the coroner – almost always artificially supported by convenient valuations, prepared by compliant professionals, as well as by fraudulent asset segregations functional to continuous drainage. of liquidity, under whose weight, in an unsustainable reality for years, the foundations of the Fimco and Maiora groups were disintegrating, both broke in September 2019, leaving something like 430 million euros of consolidated debts on the ground, of of which more than 78 million pending verification before the tax authorities and institutions.
