investigation at the Citadel with 4 companies banned

THE continuous breakdownsin recent years, to the elevators that had been installed in the new judicial citadel they have evidently turned the spotlight on the methods of supplying goods and services. And following the outcome of the investigations, delegated by the Salerno Prosecutor’s Office to the soldiers of the economic-financial police unit of the provincial command of the Guardia di Finanza and to the police officers of the State Police, four disqualification measures were carried out against the ban on contracting with the public administration for one year to as many companies (three in the Neapolitan hinterland and one in the province of Bari) which operate in the sector of construction of residential buildings and installation, repair and maintenance of lifts.

According to the provisions of the investigating judge of the Court of Salerno, who agreed with the request of the local prosecutor’s office (directed by chief prosecutor Borrelli and by deputy Cannavale), the disqualification measure for one year has reached Costruzioni Barozzi Spa and Passarelli Spa (agents) belonging to the group of companies that won the contract for the construction of the judicial citadel (second excerpt), for not having adopted and, in any case, effectively implemented, organizational and management models suitable to prevent the respective legal representatives provided goods different (in nature, order, quality and performance) from those indicated in the tender specifications and in the fulfillment of the obligations deriving from the contract itself. The other two companies targeted by the disqualification measure – again for one year – are the Euroascensori Service srl responsible for installing the systems and the Hacca Impianti srl entrusted with the lift maintenance service, who would not have adopted and, in any case, effectively implemented, organization and management models suitable to prevent the respective legal representatives from carrying out incorrect installation of the systems and not carrying out the maintenance services required by the contract .

The investigation must be subjected to scrutiny by the judge in the further stages of the proceedings as well as the precautionary measure of thedisqualification is susceptible to appealas already announced by Costruzioni Barozzi’s lawyer. On the prosecution’s side, the important aspect of the provision is the specific form of administrative liability attributable to entities with legal personality in relation to certain cases of crime committed in the interest or to the advantage of the entity itself, by people who hold supervisory functions. representation, administration or management or by persons subject to the management or supervision of one of the aforementioned subjects.

But requests for suspension could be filed as early as today, as announced by Vito Mormando, the company’s lawyer Costruzioni Barozzi Spa (Cobar) of Altamurawho in a note explains how the provision has caused more outcry than necessary: ​​«The measure, in fact, refers to an alleged breach of a merely and exclusively formal nature. Furthermore, the magistrate himself, in the documents, refers to a delay in updating the organizational model. The provision therefore of a technical nature can be immediately suspended with the acceptance of the request for suspension which we will file tomorrow”, announced the defender and explains that “according to the accusation the companies would not have adopted and, in any case, effectively implemented, all the procedures necessary to prevent the supply – and therefore also the use – of goods of a different type from that indicated in the public procurement contract”, but in any case – observes Cobar’s lawyer – the company “has already commissioned an authoritative study professional to proceed with the updating of the 231 form and has already communicated this to the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Salerno. Finally, what I would like to underline is that the intervention of the Salerno judiciary is exclusively limited to some of the many corporate activities and does not in any way affect the management of Cobar spa”.
