He took Calissano's money, the prosecutor asks for more than 7 years in prison

Seven years, nine months and ten days of imprisonment, already served with the abbreviated procedure. This is the sentence requested by prosecutor Francesco Cardona Albini for the lawyer Matteo Minna, a former support administrator accused of embezzlement, circumvention of an incompetent person, false ideology and omission of official documents.

According to the accusation, he stole over 500 thousand euros from the Genoese actor Paolo Calissano and large sums from three other administrators.

The trial, underway before the panel presided over by judge Paola Faggioni, was postponed to November 30 for the discussions of the civil parties. For Calissano, the actor was found dead in his home in Rome on 31 December 2021 after ingesting a mix of drugs, his brother turned himself in, assisted by the lawyer Santina Ierardi, while the other scammers are assisted by Ilaria Tulino and Michele Franzosi.

Minna's defenders Maurizio Mascia and Enrico Scopesi will speak on 14 December. The ruling is expected on January 11.

The proceedings are taking place behind closed doors, but the accused could request a public hearing in the coming weeks. During the indictment, the prosecutor, who spoke of the same 'modus operandi' as Minna, recalled that some episodes of embezzlement are now statute-barred, as they date back to 2013, but asked for the confiscation of over a million, of which approximately half referable to the sums stolen from Calissano, also in view of future civil proceedings.
