Delmastro case, Caroccia's mobile phone seized: what prosecutors are looking for
During the interrogation, Caroccia recounted that he had met Delmastro in the club he managed at the time, Baffo. "We liked each other," he said
The work of the Public Prosecutor's Office of Rome on the Delmastro case, i.e. the investigation on the company 'Le 5 Forchette' of which the former undersecretary of Justice was a shareholder, goes on. With a new, important piece of evidence for the Antimafia prosecutors, who ordered the seizure of the mobile phone of Mauro Caroccia, the man under investigation together with his daughter Miriam, for money laundering and fictitious registration of assets.
The work of the investigators
Investigators aim to reconstruct, by analysing chats and messages, the birth of the company. In particular, the relationships between Caroccia - who has been serving a four-year prison sentence for mafia offences since February - and the shareholders who signed the agreement in front of a Biella notary on 16 December 2024.
Shareholders resigned
The point is the shareholders. Because they appeared, in addition to Delmastro, the former vice-president of Piedmont Elena Chiorino (who resigned after Nordio's undersecretaryship), councillor Davide Zappalà and Biella city councillor Cristiano Fransceschini. All members of Fratelli d'Italia.
The hope of the investigators is that the seized phone may provide useful elements to reconstruct the phases immediately preceding the creation of the Ltd. From this point of view, communications between the suspect and Delmastro himself could be crystallised in the device.
L’interrogatorio
During the interrogation, the right-hand man of the Senese clan told of having met the exponent of Fratelli d'Italia in the club he managed at the time, Baffo. 'We liked each other,' Caroccia basically said, as reported by Ansa, 'and he decided to give us charity, to help me because at that time I was incensed'. For the suspect, the opening of the company was a choice 'to feel calmer'.
