Giovanni Toti investigation dismissed by Genoa judge

The Preliminary Investigation Judge (GIP) of the Tribunal of Genoa, Giorgio Morando, has ordered the dismissal of the criminal proceedings against former Liguria Region President Giovanni Toti and several other individuals. The investigation involved various allegations, including corruption and illicit financing.

In addition to Toti, the dismissal affects entrepreneurs Aldo Spinelli and Mauro Vianello, former Port Authority President Paolo Emilio Signorini, Maurizio Rossi, and Antonella Traverso. The judge accepted the prosecution's request, noting the ‘absence of a theoretically conceivable crime hypothesis’ and stating that the evidence was ‘unsuitable to formulate a reasonable prediction of conviction.’

Following the dismissal, the court ordered the return of assets previously seized during the investigation, including mobile phones, personal computers, and various financial assets.
