University of Camerino reconstruction and corruption probe

The University of Camerino (Unicam) has reached a milestone in its post-earthquake recovery with the official reopening of the restored Palazzo Ribechi and the Santa Caterina complex. These historic buildings have been integrated into the Sant'Agostino Didactic Hub to support chemistry and pharmaceutical sciences.

However, the university has simultaneously launched an extraordinary audit following the ‘Ricostruzione’ investigation. Coordinated by the District Anti-Mafia Directorate and the Guardia di Finanza, the probe targets three employees in the Technical, Building, and Sustainability Area for alleged corruption. The individuals involved include engineer Gian Luca Marucci and surveyors Bruno Mogliani and Francesco Tomassetti.

In response, the university has barred these employees from new responsibilities regarding tenders, contracts, or construction works during the audit. Rector Graziano Leoni stated the institution is acting with ‘rigor and balance’ to protect impartiality, noting that the audit aims to inform future anti-corruption prevention measures.
