Overview
- The Supreme Court declared the Milan prosecutors’ appeal inadmissible, effectively confirming the Riesame’s revocation of arrests for Manfredi Catella, Alessandro Scandurra and Andrea Bezziccheri, with written motivations expected in the coming weeks.
- The court also annulled professional interdictions imposed on former city official Giancarlo Tancredi, ex‑Commissione Paesaggio president Giuseppe Marinoni and architect Federico Pella.
- Substitute PG Cristina Marzagalli had urged the court not to back the appeal, noting the record did not show an operative corrupt pact between Catella and Scandurra; the inadmissibility order has been linked by analysts to possible procedural gaps, pending the court’s reasoning.
- Despite the ruling, Milan prosecutors have continued new site seizures, while Mayor Beppe Sala called for direct talks, warning that the ongoing standoff is harming the city and families tied to halted projects.
- In Rome, law‑enforcement units using radio scans, excavators, artificieri and molecular‑detection dogs are inspecting a masonry tunnel under the Casa del Jazz for potential weapons, explosives or human remains connected to Adinolfi, a line of inquiry long associated with Enrico Nicoletti and the Banda della Magliana.
