LAW
Roberto Spinelli's position in the corruption investigation in Liguria has been dismissed
Order of the judge for preliminary investigations
Genova
January 7, 2025
Today the judge for preliminary investigations, with a reasoned decree, definitively shelved Roberto's position Spinelli as part of the investigation that had led to the arrest of the former president of the Liguria Region, Giovanni Toti, of the former President of the Ligurian Sea Port System Authority Westerner, Paolo Emilio Signorini, and Roberto's father, the port and logistics entrepreneur Aldo Spinelli ( of 7 May 2024). "I am satisfied - commented Roberto Spinelli - with this measure comes to an end a story that has unjustly involved and who, for so many months, exposed me unjustly to a "media pillory" without me or the companies involved had ever committed anything illicit".
