Corigliano Rossano Mayor Flavio Stasi addresses crowds after house arrest revocation

Flavio Stasi, the mayor of Corigliano Rossano, addressed a large crowd in Piazza Bernardino Le Fosse following the revocation of his house arrest. The judicial measure had been imposed as part of Operation Ginestra, an investigation into alleged political-mafia electoral exchanges.

During his speech, Stasi described the period of house arrest as the “longest and darkest days” of his life and expressed gratitude for the community's support. While the precautionary measure was revoked by a judge in Catanzaro on November 5, the judicial proceedings and investigation remain ongoing.

Stasi emphasized his support for state anti-mafia efforts, stating that the community welcomes the actions of the state and the prosecutor's office against organized crime. He also defended the region, claiming that certain statements regarding the investigation had attempted to defame the entire community and Calabria.
