In 2018, an investigation by the financial police was opened into one alleged tax evasion in the management of the Sassarese Polyclinic. According to the prosecution, the company crisis that would then lead to the irregularities in the accounts was caused by a bad management. Therefore he ended up in the dock Piero Buathe legal representative of the Polyclinic.
As La Nuova Sardegna writes, man, however, was acquitted in recent days. The charge of having failed to pay the certified withholding taxes from 2014 to 2018 was dropped. The sentence puts in black and white that the fact does not constitute a crime. The company’s crisis was not due to the director’s responsibility, but to external factors, which could not fail to escape his control. In addition to the costs incurred for the payment of extra services, which were then not reimbursed by the region due to a change in legislation, also the delays in payments by the public administration.
Piero Bua had done his utmost to seek external financing, both through public tenders and through attempts to attract private investments. Bua even had gave up their salaries as an administrator and had used personal resources to keep the facility operational: given the emergency situation he had tried to guarantee the functioning of the hospital, which served an average of 5000 patients per year. And this was a primary objective: not paying the treasury was the only way not to interrupt the service, essential for the population. Otherwise, Bua would have incurred a violation of the criminal law for interruption of public service.
