Urban planning Milan, Review confirms seizure of 12.5 million on 'sismabonus'

The Court of Review of Milan confirmed the preventive seizure decree for the purposes of confiscation of just over 12.5 million euros, carried out on 2 September by the Economic and Financial Police Unit of the Gdf in one of the lines of the maxi investigation into urban management, against Bluestone Crescenzago, which built the Park Towers, two skyscrapers in the Lambro park area, of the owner of the real estate group Andrea Bezziccheri and the development manager, Gianluca Zammarchi, all under investigation.

For the prosecutors Luisa Baima Bollone, Mauro Clerici and Paolo Filippini, of the pool of the deputy Paolo Ielo, and for the investigating judge Angelica Cardi, who signed the decree, Bluestone and its administrators would have had undue access to "Sismabonus" tax credits at 85%, between the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025, for anti-seismic building efficiency on renovation interventions. And this even if the two towers in that period had already been classified as new constructions, no longer renovations, and above all when the prosecutors, in the proceedings for illegal development of the Park Towers, had already closed the investigation and requested the ongoing trial, among others, also for Bezziccheri.

After the hearing in recent days, following Zammarchi's appeal, judges Guadagnino-Recaneschi-Raciti confirmed "the preventive seizure decree" of the investigating judge, reclassifying the original charge of fraud as "undue receipt of public funds", contested in the investigation together with the undue compensation of non-existent tax credits.
