Overview

• The Tribunale del Riesame published its reasons for revoking Alessandro Scandurra’s house arrest, citing a lack of grave, concordant indications of corruption.
• Judges rejected the prosecution’s “automatic” corruption theory, calling the gip’s reasoning a conjectural chain of payment–public role–corruption and a “svilente” simplification.
• The court said a €22,000 invoice linked to Coima was justified, found no solicitations or knowing breaches in chats, and noted Scandurra followed the abstention rules then in force.
• The panel highlighted regulatory ambiguity, referencing the May 29, 2023 change to the city’s abstention rules, and criticized a “quadro fattuale confuso” in the investigative record.
• August custody revocations covered Scandurra and Andrea Bezziccheri, other measures were annulled or modified for additional suspects, and some interdictions persist as further rulings and forensic reviews proceed.
