Three years’ imprisonment and five-year disqualification from holding public office. This is the sentence inflicted on the municipal police councilor of the Municipality of Lamezia Terme, Tranquillo Paradiso, aged 52, of Forza Italia, accused of fraudulent bankruptcy and tax crimes dating back to the period between 2016 and 2018. The sentence was issued by the Court of Lamezia Terme in a monocratic composition (judge Gian Marco Angelini).
The crimes alleged against Paradiso are to be related to his activity as an entrepreneur and the management of a company, which, according to the prosecution, was his property. Tranquillo Paradiso is the second Forza Italia exponent from the municipality of Lamezia Terme to be sentenced. In recent weeks, two years of imprisonment were imposed on the councilor Carolina Caruso in relation to the bankruptcy of the “Caruso Group” company.
