Overview
- Fratelli d’Italia senator Sergio Rastrelli has filed a parliamentary question to Defence Minister Guido Crosetto seeking confirmation of any mooring granted to Roberto Fico’s boat at the Aeronautica club in Nisida, a military demesne.
- Fico rejects the allegations as defamatory and politically driven, describing the vessel as a used gozzo and insisting that everything about its ownership and mooring complies with the rules.
- Media accounts conflict on the purchase date—reported as 2022 by right-leaning outlets versus April 2024 in other reporting—leaving open whether a declaration was required under the law on post‑mandate asset variations.
- Opponents cite the absence of the boat in public patrimonial records and question possible privileged access to a restricted pier, while Fico’s staff says a past security‑based request for Nisida mooring was accepted for roles of particular institutional sensitivity.
- The Sciallino cabin boat, named “Paprika” and roughly 34–36 feet, is currently shown moored in Procida, with some reports alleging low military‑facility fees and figures such as Edmondo Cirielli warning that improper use of a military structure would be a crime.
