Investigation by the Naples DDA into alleged rigged public tenders in Campania for a total value of 53 million euros.
Two bribes, of 100 thousand euros and 20 thousand, to favor entrepreneurs Mario and Marco Langella in two public contracts for a total of 53 million euros: this is contested by the DDA of Naples (prosecutors Woodcock and Colonna Romano) in the investigation by the Economic-Financial Police Unit of the Guardia di Finanza and the Port Authority, against Tommaso Casillo, president of the board of directors of Soresa, the purchasing body of the Campania Region. Casillo, who was a senator, undersecretary of Infrastructure and vice-president of the Campania Regional Council, was sent to prison.
A tender worth almost 30 million euros which would have been piloted since the preparation of the tender, with bribes agreed for a total of 150 thousand euros aimed at favoring the winning company. It is one of the lines of the investigation by the DDA of Naples, coordinated by prosecutor Henry John Woodcock and conducted by the Economic-Financial Police Unit of the Guardia di Finanza and the Investigative Unit of the Port Authority-Coast Guard of Naples, on the five-year assignment of the collection and transport of urban waste in the Municipality of Somma Vesuviana (Naples).
The contract, worth 29.6 million euros, was awarded on 15 December 2025 to Langella Mario srl. According to the reconstruction accepted by investigating judge Emilio Minio, the corruption agreements would have influenced both the preparation of the tender documents and the subsequent evaluation of the offers, through a system of relationships between entrepreneurs, public officials and representatives of regional bodies. In particular, Nicola Boccia, at the time an official of the Municipality of Somma Vesuviana, would have provided Marco Langella with drafts of the specifications and specifications not yet published, allowing the entrepreneur to intervene on the requirements of the procedure to favor his own company.
In exchange, according to the accusation, a bribe of 100 thousand euros was agreed upon. Tommaso Casillo, president of the board of directors of Soresa, the purchasing body of the Campania Region, would also have intervened in the subsequent evaluation phase and would have received indications from Langella on the scores to be attributed to the offers, to be transmitted to the president of the judging commission Raffaele Scognamiglio.
The alleged corrupt agreement also provided for 20 thousand euros for Casillo and 30 thousand for Massimo Sibilio, in charge of the assignment phase, for the availability of confidential information. The total sums agreed, according to the investigators, therefore amounted to 150 thousand euros. For Casillo the investigating judge ordered precautionary custody in prison, while Boccia, Scognamiglio and Sibilio are among the recipients of invitations to appear for preventive interrogation, as part of the investigation into public procurement and the relationship between the Langella business group and the public administration.
