On 18.07.2020, the court in Palmi (RC) acquitted the entrepreneur for not having committed the offence. However, following asset-related investigations carried out by the Direzione Investigativa Antimafia, on proposal of the Prosecutor’s Office in Reggio Calabria, the court in Reggio Calabria ordered the seizure of his assets, considering his social qualified dangerousness.
