It was expected that the trial sentence “Ter Money take off”, Pronounced in Vibo Valentia a year ago, and that acquitted among others the President of Credito Sammarinese Lucio Amati and the deputy director Sandro Sapignoliinstead condemning the former director Valter Vendemini, immediately had its weight in the first hearing of the appeal process in San Marino. But according to the Tax Attorney, if there is an element that emerges in the Italian sentence, it is that the money laundering events took place in San Marino.

“So it is good that the jurisdiction of the Titan Tribunal and the sentence of the former top management of Credito Sammarinese confirmed, as well as in the sentence of May 2018 “. This is the famous money laundering case of Vincenzo Barbieriaffiliated with the Mancuso clan: one million and 300 thousand euros in cash that in January 2011 – shortly before the ‘Ndranghetista was killed in an ambush – came, brought in two bags by the director Vendemini, Money that came from drug trafficking and in Italy the trend linked to Credito Sammarinese is only part of a substantial trial linked to international drug trafficking. At this point, the story on the recycling in question, there are two first-degree sentences (none of which have become res judicata), which are also very different from each other. And if a first node is therefore ne bis in idem, which prohibits the celebration of a second judgment for the same fact, the other is the calculation of the prescription: abundantly achieved, according to most of the defenses, for the Tax Power of Attorney instead there are still six months to go. On May 30, the next hearing, during which the former deputy director Sapignoli asked to be heard.

None of the former top management of Credito Sammarinese was present in the classroom “Difficult to bear the emotional burden of this affair “explain the defenses. In particular that of Harvests“can’t take it anymore– say the lawyers – the Italian sentence devastated the San Marino one more. To get to retirement after a solid career he had to be a street cleaner for months for the State Company e the social health worker“. And he remembers the words of the Public Prosecutor who came to attend the first interrogation of Vendemini “they did not imagine who they were dealing with”.
