From travel to Romania to advertising and sponsorships, from restaurant expenses to mileage reimbursements up to "Gifts for parties and weddings". The former president ofTerritorial hunting area Perugia 1 and the three members of the board of auditors were sentenced by the Court of Auditors to compensate the ATC almost 38 thousand euros. According to the accounting judiciary, this is a series of expenses "not supported by adequate documentation". Quartilio Ciofini, former president of the ATC, will have to repay the institution 26.486 € while the three auditors almost 3.800 euros each.
The investigations According to the investigations conducted by the financial police, the facts refer to the period 2008-2013 and concern 13 thousand euros in kilometer reimbursements for voluntary guards, 3.334 euros for catering and foodstuffs, nearly 6.700 for advertising and sponsorships, more than 8.300 for other reimbursements in favor of employees and collaborators, almost 15 for other expenses related to catering and 6.762 euros for reimbursements for the president. A story filed in a criminal court (the Prosecutor's Office of Perugia had opened a file assuming an "unfair profit" of 744 thousand euros) and then led to the accounting process; in the sentence the Court reaffirms the existence of its own jurisdiction because, despite the financing enjoyed by the ATC are of a mixed nature (public and private), the expenses concern the activity and functioning of the Area and the achievement of its objectives linked to tasks of a public nature.
Unjustified expenses the Court speaks of «completely irregular expenditure procedures, as they are not supported by suitable supporting documentation ". With regard to the figures paid in favor of the voluntary guards (25 euros per day), the judiciary explains that these are "liquidations arranged with completely arbitrary criterion», And« the mileage reimbursement paid to the president himself turned out to be completely lacking in justification ». The same applies to expenses related to food, catering, advertising and sponsorships.
Defenses Ciofini, defended by lawyers Nicola Di Mario and Michele Nannarone, argued that the right to compensation is now prescribed as well as the absence of criminally relevant conduct and the lack of active legitimacy of the accounting prosecutor. In addition to this, the lawyers explained that the criteria for reimbursement to the guards were always considered appropriate and that almost all of the expenses were related to institutional purposes. Concepts similar to those expressed by the defenses of the three members of the college of auditors, to which the Court has accused an "almost general omission" with regard to the control of costs.
