Serious circumstantial framework, but no precautionary requirement: the investigating judge of Cosenza, Claudia Pingitore, rejected the request to issue precautionary custody made by the prosecutor Antonio Tridico against the resigning mayor of Carolei, Francesco Iacucci, and the other suspects: Paolo Felice (deputy mayor), Francesco Iorio, Giovanni Ioele, Francesco Pulice, Andrea Forlino and Luigi Principe.
The resignation of the mayor and the council eliminated the precautionary requirements.
The suspects are defended by lawyers Enzo Aprile, Francesco Calabrò, Enzo Belvedere, Fiorella Bozzarello, Marco Tarsitano, Pierluigi Pugliese, Edoardo Florio and Salvatore Marra.
The prefectural commissioner has taken office in the Municipality of Carolei.
