Overview

• Tribunale del Riesame motivations say the prosecutors did not prove a corruption pact for Alessandro Scandurra and call the accusatory theory a demeaning simplification based on a confused factual record.
• The judges highlight ambiguous municipal conflict‑of‑interest rules, find no evidence Scandurra knew of a broader duty to abstain, and deem chats and a disputed Coima invoice insufficient to show a quid pro quo.
• Revocations for Scandurra and developer Andrea Bezziccheri rest on a lack of serious indications of guilt, with motivations for Manfredi Catella and former officials still to be published as prosecutors prepare a Cassation appeal.
• In the Almasri affair, a 23‑page joint memorandum by Alfredo Mantovano, Carlo Nordio and Matteo Piantedosi argues the repatriation decision protected national security and rejects any private purpose.
• The center‑right majority moves in the Giunta today to acquire acts on Giusi Bartolozzi to seek extending ministerial‑style shielding and to ready a possible constitutional conflict, while aiming for a Chamber vote on September 30.
