Cassation Court ruling: the trial stays in Milan

The case involving Tourism Minister Daniela Santanché and two other defendants, accused of fraud against the Italian social security institute (INPS), will remain in Milan. The Italian Supreme Court (Cassation) rejected the defense’s request to transfer the case to Rome on grounds of territorial jurisdiction.

The investigation focuses on alleged irregularities in the management of Covid-related wage support funds by Visibilia, the company founded by Santanché. Prosecutors claim that the company unlawfully obtained public fundswithout meeting the necessary conditions for social security benefits.

The news was first reported by Corriere della Sera and La Stampa, sparking outrage from Santanché’s legal team. Her lawyers criticized the fact that they learned about the Cassation Court’s ruling from the press, calling it “shameful.”

Next hearing scheduled for March 26

Following the confirmation of Milan’s jurisdiction, the case will proceed, with the preliminary hearing set for March 26 before the Gup (Preliminary Hearing Judge).

The Visibilia case remains in the spotlight, fueling debate over the management of public funds during the pandemicand the potential responsibilities of company executives.
