The investigation
The Rimborsopoli investigation also involved the former governor of the region, Roberto Cota. The accusation was embezzlement and referred to the expenditure of funds destined for the groups represented in the Regional Council in the years 2010-2014. The trial returned to the trial benches after the Cassation in 2019 had annulled the previous ordinary appeal sentence. In particular, the judges were scrutinizing the ways in which the then councilors used the funds destined for the functioning of the group they belonged to.
