the investigation expands. At least 18 suspects in the capital
There “Clique” of administrative justice, which went as far as government positions and managed to pilot the appointments, for the prosecution of Rome, would have acted “in a systematic way (according to habits and customs certainly dating back over time), making use of proven schemes and mechanisms, as well as consolidated experiences, skills and personal relationships”. There are at least eighteen suspects in the investigation that brought the lawyer under house arrest Federico Tedeschini and his colleague Pierfrancesco Siccoand the suspension for one year of their duties by the lawyer Gianmaria Covino, the manager Gaia Checcucci and the administrative judge Silvestro Maria Russo (the prosecutors had also requested their arrest for them).
Today Tedeschini, defended by the lawyer Gaetano Scalise, and Checcuci, assisted by the lawyer Francesco Caroleo Grimaldi, will be questioned by the investigating judge. And from the documents it emerges how, through a dense network of relationships, Tedeschini aimed straight at the ministers, such as the one for the South and the one for the Environment; with the aim of obtaining the appointment, as head of department of one of the structures that would manage the money of the Pnrr, of Checcucci, who would pay him with consultancy. And it is no coincidence that the investigation by the carabinieri arises from another file of the Rome prosecutor’s office, the one in which the former colleague and firm partner of the former prime minister Giuseppe Conte, Luca Di Donna, is being investigated, accused together with other professionals of criminal association aimed at the illicit trafficking of influences, for the contracts that it would have guaranteed to companies and businesses during the health emergency.
MINISTRY FOR THE SOUTH
The soldiers explain how Tedeschini aimed for the ministry for the South. Even at the cost of using friends, sometimes unaware. A report reads: «Starting from 4 November (2021) some telephone conversations were intercepted in which Tedeschini did his utmost to make an appointment with Dr. Quadri, spouse of his friend the state lawyer Maurizio Greco (not under investigation ed) ».
Francesca Quadri, councilor of state, was the head of cabinet of the minister for the South and Territorial Cohesion Mara Carfagna, who was supposed to, in agreement with the president of the region concerned, propose to the prime minister the name of the extraordinary commissioner for the Zes , Special economic zones, Puglia. But many had turned to Tedeschini, the carabinieri write in the report: Gaia Checcucci, Vera Corbelli, president of the southern Apennine district basin authority, Arnaldo Sala and Giosy Romano, current president of Zes Campania. The soldiers add: “A separate discussion must be made for the latter, since the same can count, due to his political role, also on direct channels of dialogue with the minister”. For the military, the clients mentioned had turned to Tedeschini or Angelo Caliendo (another lawyer, ed) “to find the right institutional channel that would support their aspirations”.
THE ENVIRONMENT
It was last March 10 when Tedeschini and Sicco commented, intercepted, on the possible appointment of Corbelli to a top role in the Ministry of the Environment. But the problem arises of the incompatibility with the task of the Bacino authority and Sicco comments: you would leave your post, «because in that Directorate I’m talking about, all the reclamations, all the land, everything: there is the 60% of the ministry’s budget.’ To then add: «In the old position you would be replaced by Gennaro».
