The Cagliari villa of former governor Renato Soru was foreclosed at the request of Intesa Sanpaolo , the bank to which the founder of Tiscali had turned to obtain a multi-year loan with which to pay off a debt with the tax authorities of 7 million euros.

A debt resulting from an agreement with the Revenue Agency for an alleged evasion.

On this matter, the former secretary of the Sardinian Democratic Party had also been tried and then acquitted , with a sentence that became final, by the Court of Appeal of Cagliari in 2017. After the foreclosure of the house in front of the Basilica of Bonaria, I have been at work for some time lawyers who are seeking an agreement with the bank.

Soru (who was also an MEP from 2014 to 2019) was convicted in the first instance because he was accused of having evaded 2.6 million euros as part of a loan made by the company Andalas Ldt (Soru's English company) to Tiscali.

On appeal, the Attorney General was also convinced of the former governor's good faith and asked for acquittal , which was accepted by the Court with the broadest formula.

Definitively acquitted in criminal proceedings , the debt with the Revenue Agency paid, Soru's lawyers are now seeking an agreement with Intesa Sanpaolo to close the last game: the one that led to the foreclosure of the large house in Viale Bonaria in Cagliari .
