Bridge over the Strait, corruption investigation: the Prosecutor's Office requests documents from the Ministry of Infrastructure

First the searches to acquire documents and smartphones of the suspects. Now the Strait Bridge papers sent to the Court of Auditors.

The Rome Public Prosecutor's Office has delegated the ROS Carabinieri to execute a performance order against four recipients: Mit, Dipe/Cipess, the Ponte sull'Sretto company and the Eurolink consortium. This is the new step in the corruption investigation which sees, among others, Tommaso Miele, former deputy president of the Court of Auditors, and the lawyer Giacomo Saccomanno under investigation.

The request has a precise perimeter. The magistrates want to acquire the documentation prepared and transmitted to the Court of Auditors as part of the control activity on two provisions: Cipess resolution no. 61/2025 and decree no. 190 of 1 August 2025.

The documents prepared and sent to the accounting judiciary for those checks are therefore the object of the order addressed to the four recipients.

The activity follows a previous investigative intervention, dated 9 June. On that occasion, a search decree was carried out aimed at acquiring documentation and electronic devices, including smartphones, in use by the people subjected to investigations.

The sequence indicated by the magistrates therefore starts from the search for documents and devices of the suspects and continues with the request for the papers sent to the Court of Auditors.
