The Cagliari prosecutor's office has closed the investigation, opened in 2023 by the prosecutor Giangiacomo Pilia, into the sale of a property of the former governor Christian Solinas and the appointment of Roberto Raimondi to the general directorate of the management authority of the Eni-Cbc basin program Mediterranean.

The number of suspects has risen to nine: the accountant Aldo Cadau, at the time of the events commissioner of the Zes (Special Economic Zone) and for the wife of Raimondi, Melissa Mencarelli. The new line of investigation concerns the alleged manipulation of a tender for the recruitment of an expert to be hired at the Zes: the three (Raimondi, Cadau and Mencarelli) would have made sure to include requirements that would have facilitated the woman, who in turn he would have certified that he possessed requirements, gained through work experience that he could not actually boast on his CV.

The rest of the legal case is known. The possible crimes are corruption, forgery and auction rigging. Last January, a few days after the presentation of the candidates for the regional elections on 25 February, the Financial Police had carried out a precautionary seizure of goods and properties worth around 350 thousand euros against Solinas and other people involved in the investigations ( provision later revoked for some: the seizure of the former governor was considered sufficient). Now the request for indictment is looming for the suspects.

In the first line of the investigation with the former president of the Region, the entrepreneur Roberto Zedda and the regional councilor Nanni Lancioni (Psd'Az) are investigated. The investigation concerns Zedda's sale of a property owned by Solinas in Capoterra and then the subsequent purchase of a house by Solinas near Poetto in Cagliari. According to the investigators, Zedda would have obtained in exchange a supply of thermoscanners and the continuation of the supply of software and hardware as part of the Nuoro project financing. The property in question would have had a value of 72 thousand euros, but the promised final price would have been 550 thousand, of which 375 thousand had been paid. For the investigators, the difference of 303 thousand euros would be a bribe.

The second strand instead focuses on alleged pressure for the appointment of Raimondi at the top of the Enpi linked, according to the Prosecutor's hypothesis, to the promise to Solinas of an honorary degree from an Albanian university. Also under accusation are the former governor's then advisor, Christian Stevelli, the rector of the University of Tirana Arben Gjata and the general director of the E-Campus Algonso Lovito.
