Around forty people , including magistrates , members of the police force, military personnel and officials from various prefectures , are under investigation as part of a new branch of the investigation by the Genoa prosecutor's office into Tirrenia-Compagnia italiana di Navigazione , which has led to the seizure of 3 ferries .

The prosecution suspects corruption : the officials allegedly travelled on board the company's ships for free with "gold" cards provided by the company.

The investigators of the Guardia di Finanza, coordinated by the prosecutor Walter Cotugno, have obtained a list of names who traveled without paying on various routes to Sardinia and Sicily . The public officials and magistrates were immediately charged with corruption even though at the moment there have been no investigations into the possible favors that the Cin company may have received from them. From Genoa the documents were sent, for jurisdiction, to Turin for at least two Ligurian magistrates.

THE OTHER STRAND – In the other strand, the one concerning the investigation into fraud in public supplies and which led to the preventive seizure of 3 ships, for a value of 64 million euros to the company, the first interrogations will begin on Wednesday before the investigating judge of the 13 people involved, including admirals and officials of various port authorities and managers of Tirrenia-Cin.

The public prosecutor Walter Cotugno has requested house arrest for two people and 11 interdictions . The charges, to varying degrees, are fraud, forgery and corruption. With the new Nordio law, the judge must question the suspects before issuing precautionary measures. The military personnel of the Coast Guard are charged with 87 free or discounted tickets, for a value of approximately 20 thousand euros . Under investigation for this line of investigation (but no measures have been requested) are Gianfranco Annunziata , rear admiral and former head of the office in charge of military policy in the cabinet of the Minister of Defense; Admiral Pier Federico Bisconti , now retired but until recently deputy secretary general of Defense and former national deputy director of armaments; Admiral Filippo Giovanni Maria Marini , current commander of the Venice Coast Guard. And then the officers Enrico Lisiola, Fabio Vuolo of the Civitavecchia coast guard; Edoardo Volo, Aldo Tragiani, Emanuele Bonafede, Pier Federico Landi and Beatrice Lavorenti . Also under investigation is Achille Onorato , CEO of Moby and son of shipowner Vincenzo Onorato (not under investigation).
