After a few hours of protest, Quattrone got out, ending his protest. Although he was acquitted in the second trial, Quattrone’s assets were confiscated at the end of the parallel proceedings, and unrelated to the criminal trial, heard before the Prevention Measures section of the Court of Reggio Calabria. Already at the end of 2022, the entrepreneur had chained himself in front of the judicial offices and had also been received by the prosecutor Giovanni Bombardieri. Today yet another protest accompanied by a video message published on his Facebook page. «I am Quattrone Francesco Gregorio – he stated in the video posted on the social channel – the entrepreneur robbed by this Italian injustice. Today is September 4, 2023 and I, as I had anticipated days ago, am here, about 20 meters away risking my life. It’s worth it.” «I will stay here, I will risk what I risk because, for me, for my sacrifices for those of my parents, my children and my wife, it is worth it. I don’t ask for anything except a little voice and views in the media.”
