Cosenza: Allegations of procurement violations and Amaco mismanagement

In Cosenza, allegations have surfaced regarding serious violations of public procurement laws involving the Occhiuto administration. The focus of the controversy is Amaco, a company that has faced official bankruptcy.

Reports indicate that Mario Capalbo, an architect and associate of the administration, took control of Amaco in July 2013. Critics allege that Capalbo managed the company as a personal fiefdom to serve political interests, following the removal of previous management. The transition to Cometra is now being viewed by critics as a continuation of the same political interests that oversaw the company's failure.
