In front of the prosecutors, the former mayor Ricci replied for hours with notes in hand, but the inconsistencies on the catering of electoral dinners remain confirmed
On April 12 (keep this date in mind) 1961, for the first time in the history of humanity, Yuri Gagarin He completed a journey into space. The Russian cosmonaut placed an hour and 48 minutes to make an orbital flight aboard the spatial capsule Vostok 1 to 320 kilometers from the earth. On 30 July 2025 the candidate governor of the Marche region, Matteo Ricciin via Yuri Gagarin, took 5 hours to try to get out of the dryer of the investigation where he is accused of corruption by the Pesaro prosecutor. He entered with his white capsule (a Jeep Renegade) inside the provincial command of the Guardia di Finanza with his lawyer Lucio Monaco at 10.36 and came out at 3.58 pm. Out to welcome him, instead of the festive Soviet people, a handful of reporters exhausted by the heat.
In front of the magistrates, the prosecutor Marco Mescolini and the prosecutor Maria Letizia Fucci, Curlsas far as we know, showed up with some sheets of notes to which he clung to a parachute to make spontaneous statements. A move to try to drive the game. A bit like the forward launch of the Paris Saint Germain in the Champions League final against Inter. We do not know if he also scored 5 goals, but we doubt. And even if at the end of the match there were no official statements on the content of the interrogation, it was leaked that the politician, after the Sprint departure, would have agreed to answer the questions of the prosecutors.
At the exit he faced journalists with another leaflet in his hand and almost crossed the head of the investigators. White shirt and blue tie, she got off the car and smiling invited the chroniclers to calm using Words worthy of Yuri: “Tutti all, I went down”. Then, however, he undressed the Cosmonauta suit and wore the role of the student at the exit from the oral of maturity: «I am very satisfied. I answered any question and told everything I know ». On the Manzoni And on the Greek tragedy? No: «Compared to the disputed facts and my activity as mayor. I reiterated my absolute extraneousness to the facts and, indeed, I made a further contribution for the assessment of the truth ». The “inspector” Curls At this point, he passed to the dedications: “I therefore thank the magistrates for their work, I am very serene and determined and now I go back to what I have always done”. Some of those present began to worry, being an suspect in front of a barracks of the Guardia di Finanza. But Curls He reassured everyone, showing off the slogan studied with his creatives: “Electoral campaign between people and people”. At this point the candidate went back to the smiling machine, while the reporters stormed him questions about Elly Schlein (“Did you talk to the secretary?”) And they urged some mea culpa (“Don’t you think there was a deficiency of control in your business?”). He, isolated as in a space simulator, only added: “See you at the next initiative of the election campaign”.
Now it will be necessary to understand if up to the polls Curls The cutters of judicial investigations and journalistic investigations will dodge. Will the MEPs manage to keep everything under control and to put biting to co-induced and reporters? Today his old head of cabinet will be heard in the prosecutor’s office, Franco Arciinvestigated for some of the episodes contested by the prosecutors. In particular, a group of suspected expenditure determinations of which he would have been aware, including that relating to the mural dedicated to Liliana segre. The investigators discovered that the “custodial” had been identified even before the “issue of the determination of expenditure (…) as noted by the content of the email sent” by the investigation to the Cabinet Office of Curls, Massimiliano Santinito the signing manager of the act and “for information ad Arceccirecalled in the body of the aforementioned email as a subject who would have given indications on the execution of the project “.
Arceci, defended by lawyers Maurizio Terenzi And Alberto Bordonihe has already announced that he intends to answer all the questions and that his has been an effective work from Chief of Cabinet. In essence, it is certain that he can demonstrate that he has never dealt with tenders, suppliers and payments.
From Arcecci There are no risky statements for Curls. The two estimate. The former mayor defined his old collaborator a kind of CR7 of its sector e Arcecci He reciprocated the beautiful words. Therefore mutual estimate is confirmed and should not be made at risk from the investigation.
After the last key interrogation, the prosecutor should take stock of this round of statements. The prosecutor could branch down a press release or a press conference could be convened to allow public opinion to get a slightly more precise idea than what is happening. But if Curls He declares himself serene, the dinner-gate discovered by Truth It could create some scratchers. And here we are again to April 12, but from 2024. On this day there was no tour of the land of Gagarinbut the “popular dinner” (also a little Soviet) of Curls.
The truthin recent days, revealed that the catering company that organized the event, right taste, had presented a 13 euro estimate. The participants should have been about 1,600, which brought the account above 20,000 euros. In fact, in the end, around 1,400 people would eat and the cost would have been ranged from 18,000 and 19,000 euros, even if the organizers had to also give the last one “appetizer spring” (cured meats and cheeses).
In fact, in the end the association of Curls“A great little” would have sprouted a torn price: 16,000 euros. Of these, the association would have paid only 11,000 euros and 5,000 would have to arrive from the Pescheria Foundation, 100 percent controlled by the Municipality, but not in cash, but through other catering.
The general manager of the fish market, Silvano Straccini (which will be heard today by the prosecutors), he denied this reconstruction and threatened complaints. However, we found an important confirmation of the story of the managers of the right taste. On the Pescheria website we found the public notice for the establishment of a list of economic operators interested in the assignment of service contracts and supplies. Well, in the section of the orders with amounts lower than 40,000 euros, the right taste also appears (protocol number 112/2024).
But when was the application presented and when was it accepted? To the fish shop, nor the president Daniele Vimininor the general manager Straccini They wanted to answer us. From the right taste they replied that the request would started on May 7, 2024 (therefore 25 days after dinner) and, after inserting the register, they would have done some “small events”. Now someone will have to show that these are only coincidences.
