Legal ruling on Sicilian teacher business incompatibility

Overview

A teacher serving in the Lecco area has been ordered by the Court of Auditors of Lombardy to pay more than 270,000 euros in damages to the state. The ruling concerns an incompatible business operation conducted in Sicily between 2016 and 2024.

While employed at a public school, the individual maintained ownership of a tourism enterprise in Realmonte, near Agrigento, which expanded from agriculture into hospitality, catering, and guest house services. Although the defense argued that a general power of attorney for management exempted the teacher from incompatibility rules, judges ruled that delegating management did not alter her status as the owner. The court determined the teacher acted with “gross negligence,” despite finding no evidence of intent.
