Sma Campania (in-house company of the Campania Region) wins at the Council of State against the private company Tr.In.Co.Ne. srl, which had been excluded by Sma from the tender for the assignment of the internal handling, collection, transport and final disposal service of the sludge, screening and sand waste produced by the Naples East purifier. Against this decision, Tr.In.Co. Neither. he had appealed to the Campania Regional Administrative Court, which rejected him; decision now reiterated by the Council of State. Sma Campania, the company itself explains in a note, on 21 March 2023, in its capacity as contracting authority, had ordered the revocation of the award proposal and the exclusion of the appellant company from the tender due to “the involvement of Tr.In.Co. Neither. srl in a criminal context characterized by the seriousness of the crimes contested, by the Neapolitan prosecutors, in a context of systematic and widespread illegality. According to the Naples Prosecutor’s Office, the millions of euros for sludge treatment were used to inflate contracts, create slush funds and bribes. A magic circle of evildoing. A second trial is underway in this judicial context in which the Sma manager is involved and fired Cosimo Silvestro and the two officials Alessandro Soria And Agostino Chiatto. For the latter, the court of Naples confirmed, in the hearing on 27 March 2024, the fair dismissal and the sentence to pay the legal costs. The proceedings are still ongoing for the other two.” “Today is a beautiful day – he comments Tommaso Sodano, president of the Sma board of directors – is a result that rewards the determination with which the hard line was chosen towards those accused of serious facts which have caused significant damage to the reputation of the regional company and its workers. After years of omissive and conniving attitudes of the past management groups, the company has chosen the path of legality and the fight against corruption without hesitation. It is our duty to reaffirm our firm will to fire employees involved and revoke contracts with companies, to give a strong and clear signal that the Campania environmental hub company has definitively turned the page, concludes President Sodano”.
