The main accusation revolved around the employment of Antonio Rossi, the son of high-ranking official Concetta Ferrari, at Università degli Studi Pegaso.
This hiring was allegedly a "reward" for Ferrari, who, using her influence, facilitated the splitting of the Encal-Inpal patronage into two separate entities: Encal-Cisal and Inpal.
This division, initially rejected by the Ministry, reportedly brought significant financial benefits to the newly created patronages.
Francesco Fimmanò, Pegaso University’s scientific director, was acquitted, while Ferrari and other individuals remain under trial.
The case has raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest and favoritism within public institutions and private universities.
