He arrived accompanied by one of his trusted lawyers. Gianluigi Apontekey witnesses in the Ligurian investigation that led to house arrest Giovanni Totiis in the Prosecutor’s Office to answer the prosecutors’ questions Luca Monteverde And Federico Manotti.
Aponte is not under investigation and therefore is heard as a person informed of the facts (he cannot therefore avail himself of the right not to answer), without the lawyer being able to be present Giuseppe Sciacchitano.
The name of the shipowner, owner of MSC and with enormous interests in the port of Genoa, is central in the documents on file, starting from the thirty-year renewal of the concession of the Bulk Terminal: according to the Prosecutor’s Office, the decisive factor was a bribe of 40 thousand euros for the benefit of Toti from Aldo Spinelliwhich holds 55 percent of the company that manages the Terminal, against the 45 percent attributable to Aponte.
But all the same hello Aldoin his interrogation before the investigating judge after the arrest, he told his version: «Commander Aponte called I don’t know who and everything is fine, thirty years but I wanted fifty years».
According to the investigation documents, Aponte’s interest in bulk products is certified. So much so that, we read in the information from the Guardia di Finanza, «on 23 November 2021 Gianluigi Aponte called Aldo Spinelli and told him that he had spoken to Mayor Bucci, who had reassured him that everything was in order and that he would give instructions to thirty years old “Look, he told me. Don’t worry, I will give instructions for thirty years… Finished!
Also of particular investigative interest is a meeting between Aponte and the mayor of Genoa Marco Bucci.
