Mauro Colmuto, 61, and Daniela Capelli, 55, both resident in Cascinette and defended by the lawyer Pio Coda, have negotiated, respectively, one year and two months and nine months of sentences, compared to two years and five months and two years and two months imposed in the first instance by the judging panel of Ivrea. It was their colleagues Gian Piero De Filippi, 54, from Busano, sentenced to one year on appeal (two in first instance) and Gianni Biolatti, 45, from San Giusto Canavese (one year and 4 months, reduced from the initial 28 months) to propose through their lawyers Paolo Maisto and Massimo Strumia the appeal to the Supreme Court, which will be discussed on 6 September.

The appeal sentence, in fact, reduced the impact of the affair, granting all defendants a conditional suspension of the sentence, but still recognized the existence of corruption crimes, due to the system of “tips” put in place, and of fraud, for having, Biolatti and Capelli, simulated Colmuto’s presence at work by passing the badge while he was absent.

The appeal sentence underlines how “the donations of money were systematic, anything but occasional” and “were not supported by a spirit of liberality because, otherwise, the parties would not have taken into account what had already been paid and how much , on the other hand, it was still missing ». Not only that, for the judges of the second degree “there was a real agreement between Biolatti and De Filippi and the undertakers of the funeral home regarding the amount due”. In short, the judges conclude that the donations of money were not simple “tips, but the result of the trading of the function exercised by public employees”.

All acquitted, however, the owners of funeral homes. But in some cases the fact was recognized and the acquittal took place because of “particular tenuousness”. This latter case was applied in the cases of Giovanni and Paola Allera, Pietro Florian, Mauro Ceregati, Marco Regis, Giuseppe Sanapo, Stefano Spinucci and Claudio Brunetto. Here it was taken into account that the defendants were cleansed and that theirs was not a habitual conduct. Acquittal for not having committed the crime, instead, for Lauretta Schiumski Roberto Giglio Tos and Giuseppe Pavese.

The ASL / To4 had filed a civil action in all levels of judgment, through the lawyer Andrea Castelnuovo and had received a 15 thousand euro provisional. He will also be present at the judgment of legitimacy in the Cassation of 6 September. «The appeals are of very high quality – explains Castelnuovo – but I believe that the Court should reject them because there have been corruption, and how. The plaintiffs try to reduce them to little, but the story was very serious, if only for the delicacy of the role of those who manage the moment of mourning. If the Supreme Court were to believe that the employees of our ASL were not corrupt, so much the better … But my role will be to ask for confirmation of the sentences that condemned them, because their conduct was unjustifiable “.
