Countless withdrawals at the counter for a total of over 9,500 euros , a check for 2,700 , four transfers for about 10 thousand euros in total. Money owned by an elderly woman residing in the Medio Campidano , unable to provide for herself, and yet used in hypothesis for personal purposes by those who, taking into account the role, had to take care of her livelihood.

23 thousand euros

Five years of disbursements, from 2015 to 2020 , sifted through by investigators after the arrival of a complaint regarding the alleged scam suffered by the 90-year- old retired and now converged in the deed of conclusion of the investigations notified by the prosecutor Ginevra Grilletti to the alleged responsible: the Cagliari lawyer Daniela Caliendo , already in the past (November 2020) under accusation for an identical affair that ended with the decision to negotiate 22 months of imprisonment. The crime contested today and then has been hacked ; in that case, according to prosecutor Andrea Vacca, the professional had illegally used about 20 thousand euros owned by the person to be assisted, this time the accused must answer for unauthorized expenses for about 23 thousand euros.

House and clothing

Money with which, according to what was reconstructed by investigators and investigators, he had paid for the renovation of his home and proceeded to buy women's clothing . As hypothesized at the time, Caliendo had been appointed support administrator of a woman born in 1930 and, by virtue of the role, had the possibility of using the old woman's current accounts at Banco di Sassari and Banco di Sardegna : access allowed only to provide for the needs of your client. Instead, the prosecutor's thesis still to be proved, he would have taken advantage of the situation (and of the sums calculated by the investigators) to cover personal expenses through wire transfers, checks and withdrawals at the counter.

False causal and beneficiaries

In some cases, the transfers would have indicated false reasons and beneficiaries relating to alleged housing and sustenance expenses in favor of the elderly or for the arrangement of her home (with the renewal of frames and locks), while in reality in the hypothesis of the prosecutor the money had been used by the lawyer to renovate her home and make purchases at a women's clothing store. In one case, several thousand euros had been paid into a post office account jointly held by the lawyer and another person. On the other hand, it is impossible to trace the use of the approximately 9,500 euros withdrawn in cash.

The defender

At the moment Caliendo (who declined to comment on the affair) is being trusted by his colleague Massimo Ledda.
