LAGOSANTO
Paolo Caterino, 67 years old, originally from Aversa and resident in Lagosanto, was sentenced to one year in prison. The sentence issued yesterday by the Court of Ferrara in collegiate composition, with judge Piera Tassoni as president, at the end of the trial which had begun for attempted undue receipt of state funds. According to what was reconstructed during the investigations, in July 2020, the man, as owner of Anna Costruzioni based in Lagosanto, had tried to obtain a non-repayable contribution from the State of approximately 134 thousand euros, by submitting a regular application accompanied by invoices and fees referring to operations carried out in April of the previous year. For a total amount of 898,900 euros. A figure that resulted from the total of the seven invoices which, according to the investigators, however, were to be considered totally false.
Documents that had instead been uploaded in bulk the day before submitting the application to obtain the non-repayable contribution. A situation that raised suspicion and led to further investigation. From here the investigation was born which then led to the indictment and the trial which concluded in the early afternoon of yesterday with the reading of the sentence, which was preceded by the request of the public prosecutor, again for a sentence of year of imprisonment. In a hearing last February, some of the people who, according to what the accused declared, should have been the holders of the invoices that ended up under the scrutiny of the prosecutor’s office, testified. Whom, however, I absolutely didn’t know Caterino. The accused was not present when the device was read.
