The Modena Review Court fully canceled the preventive seizure decree that had been ordered against a Reitano company (Messina), beneficiary of European structural funds for about 560 thousand euros. The seizure measure, for a total value of over 800 thousand euros, had been issued in the context of an investigation conducted by the Guardia di Finanza and coordinated by the European Prosecutor’s Office of Palermo, which hypothesized a scam against the Sicilian Region and the European Union linked to contributions intended for the modernization and the expansion of productive activities in the ceramic sector.
The entrepreneurs investigated are assisted by lawyers Marco Lo Giudice and Francesco Cutraro, while the company, for years leader in the sector of ceramic production, has been assisted by the lawyer Zelia Dionisio.
The Review Court, fully accepting defensive arguments, has the release of all the previously bound assets and sums arrangedthus canceling any real precautionary measure against the suspects and society.
The investigation had concerned the alleged undue perception of European funds in the 2014/2020 programming of the European Fund of Regional Development – Sicily Operational Plan, connected to an investment program for the purchase of machinery intended for an factory of Santo Stefano di Camastra. With the decision of the Review Court, the precautionary picture is now completely zeroed.
