The former president of the port of Genoa and Savona and former CEO of Iren, Paolo Emilio Signorini, remains in prisonThe Court of Appeal decided this, rejecting the request of lawyers Enrico and Mario Scopesi. Signorini has been imprisoned in Marassi since May 7thafter the arrest as part of the investigation by the Genoa prosecutor’s office on corruption and vote-buying.
The Court of Review rejected the request presented by the lawyers because the solutions identified for house arrest – a house in Genoa made available by a relative or in Aosta by her brother – they did not appear sufficiently reassuring to the judges about the risk of evidentiary contamination.
Gentlemen He is the only one of those arrested to have ended up in prison while the main co-investigators, including the president of the Liguria Region Giovanni Toti, they immediately ended up under house arrest. According to what emerges from the provision, however, if Signorini finds another housing solution he will be able to leave. The path that the lawyers will take will therefore be to present a new request to judge Paola Faggionie in the case back to the Review Court to find an alternative solution, probably that of propose house arrest in Signorini’s home in Rome, where his ex-wife lives.
