The Corte dei conti in Italy has issued several rulings and summonses regarding administrative liability and the mismanagement of public funds in different regions.

In Sardinia, the court issued contrasting rulings for former Governor Christian Solinas and former assessor Valeria Satta. While they were acquitted in a case regarding a director general appointment due to the candidate’s professional qualifications, they were ordered to jointly compensate the Sardinia Region for 623,893 euros. This liability stems from the appointment of Antonio Belloi to the Civil Protection department, which the court found lacked required legal qualifications and was pursued despite unfavorable internal assessments.

In Campania, the regional prosecutor of the Corte dei conti has summoned two employees from the Municipality of Sorrento to pay approximately 190,106 euros in damages. The investigation alleges that public funds were paid to Vis factor srl for various events, such as the ‘Sorrento d’autore’ series and an energy conference, without proper documentation or adequate investigation. Prosecutors noted that certain events were never publicized or realized as proposed, and that the municipality paid significantly more for services than other municipalities.
