A trader allegedly gave small gifts to the former commander of the Carabinieri station so as not to receive notifications of an eviction by the National Agency for the administration and destination of seized and confiscated goods. Two other soldiers, however, are under investigation as part of the same investigation for aiding and abetting, forgery and omission of official documents.

The investigation

In recent weeks, an investigation by the Cagliari Prosecutor's Office into the failure to deliver some judicial orders to Gennaro Infante, a trader of Campania origins who has been living in Assemini for years, was concluded. According to the few rumors that have filtered out, the investigations began in 2021 when the police at the city station failed to deliver the eviction order from the house passed to the Agency. About fifty times they would not have found the recipient in his home or in any case it would not have been possible to find him to deliver the documents. Then, apparently, when the Public Prosecutor's Office had been asked about the matter, the provision would have reached its destination in a few days.

The suspicion of gifts

Once the investigation was closed, the former commander of the Assemini carabinieri station, lieutenant Eugenio Lampis, ended up in trouble, suspected of having received a gift worth around 2 thousand euros and other gifts from Gennaro Infante: sheets, tablecloths, pillowcases and similar material , however of little value. What landed the former number one of the Assemini station (now transferred to Dolianova) in trouble was an interception in which he spoke about the gifts with a third person. No other elements, apparently, against the non-commissioned officer. The investigation was closed by deputy prosecutor Emanuele Secci, the former commander was questioned and rejected any objections. The investigators of the Prosecutor's Office would also have acquired documents which would demonstrate that Marshal Lampis had nevertheless given the order to serve the documents, but that each time the mission was not successful for reasons not attributable to his will. While carrying out the checks, two other carabinieri who were on duty in Assemini at the time of the events also ended up in trouble. The investigators hypothesize that, in addition to the failure to deliver the notifications, they also drew up false documents to help their commander: hence the omission of official acts and personal aiding and abetting. Having closed the preliminary investigations, the defenders have now had access to the file.

Investigation closed

Now the deputy prosecutor Emanuele Secci has served notices of the conclusion of the preliminary investigations: the defenders will be able to access the file and decide whether to present briefs and documents, or have their clients questioned. Only then will the public prosecutor decide whether to request indictment and propose to schedule a preliminary hearing. In the meantime, the defense prepares to do battle, convinced of the innocence of the three carabinieri and the merchant.
