They would have distracted almost 1.9 million euros from the accounts of Unitalsi - historic national association that assists sick and disabled men, women and children, giving them support and accommodation in homes and also organizing pilgrimages to Lourdes, using them for personal expenses, including the purchase of a villa in Southern Sardinia.

Two heads of the Capitoline section of the association, Alessandro Pinna and Emanuele Trancalini, ended up at the center of a judicial investigation carried out by the Public Prosecutor of Rome, indicted in recent days. According to the investigations - which began in 2018 after the denunciation of the president of Unitalsi Lazio Preziosa Terrinoni - the two have repeatedly taken sums of money from the Unitalsi cashier, through "fictitious justifications", transferring them to their own or relatives' current accounts.

The case has been dealt with in recent days by Le Iene, in a report by Veronica Ruggeri, who reached Pinna and Trancalini, asking them to account for the accusations.

"At the trial everything will come out", Pinna defended himself, explaining that he was only "the last wheel of the wagon" and that the sums withdrawn were used to reimburse expenses incurred for Unitalsi, which, for years, would never have contested to their section no expense.

On the same wavelength, Trancalini, who, speaking with Ruggeri, underlined how the activity in Unitalsi was not only voluntary work for him, but "volunteering and work", also explaining that the villa in Sardinia, in his name, "is was paid with a mortgage ".

For its part, to the microphones of the Hyenas, Unitalsi specified how the activity of the volunteers has always been characterized by "gratuitousness", also underlining that the affair caused a "great pain, which this association does not deserve".
