Milan Urban Planning Probe: Review Court Affirms Corruption Indicia, Bans Ex‑Assessor Tancredi From Office

A separate panel issued reasons that diverge from earlier rulings to revive the prosecution’s case against the core trio.

Overview

  • Newly filed motivations find serious indications of guilt against Giancarlo Tancredi, Giuseppe Marinoni and Federico Pella, stating Tancredi gave a decisive, voluntary contribution to an illicit pact between the other two.
  • The judges reclassify Tancredi’s alleged conduct as corruption for the exercise of office under article 318, while confirming corruption charges for Marinoni and cautioning on Pella’s capacity to cultivate ties with officials.
  • Precautionary custody is replaced with interdictions, including a one‑year ban from public office and public contracting for Tancredi, as the court deems the risk of reoffending concrete.
  • Intercepted conversations and newly examined chats are cited as central evidence, with the court describing Tancredi and Marinoni as effectively on builders’ payrolls.
  • The panel rejects complicity for Tancredi in the falsehood tied to Marinoni’s commission appointment, and its stance contrasts with earlier review‑court rulings that eased measures for Alessandro Scandurra and Andrea Bezziccheri.
