Flavio Stasi faces judicial interrogation regarding political-mafia vote exchange allegations

Flavio Stasi, the suspended mayor of Corigliano-Rossano, appeared before a judge in Catanzaro to respond to allegations of political-mafia vote exchange. The interrogation follows the Ginestra anti-mafia operation conducted on October 28, which resulted in 41 precautionary measures.

Investigators allege an agreement existed to secure electoral support in exchange for promised job opportunities during the June 2024 administrative elections. The investigation involves alleged links between Stasi and individuals Annibale Matalone and Vincenzo Curia. Stasi, who is currently under house arrest, is represented by attorney Mauro Mitidieri. The judicial proceedings will determine whether the precautionary measures are revoked or modified based on the testimony provided.
