The gup of Civitavecchia, Francesco Filocamo, at the conclusion of the preliminary hearing ordered the indictment of all the defendants in the proceedings for fraudulent bankruptcy and other corporate crimes against the former directors and statutory auditors of Alitalia, declared insolvent in 2017 and admitted to the Extraordinary Administration procedure. The trial will start before the Court of Civitavecchia on May 18, 2023. Fourteen defendants, including Luca Cordero di Montezemolo and Roberto Colaninno, to answer for various reasons, including former directors and mayors of Alitalia who held the office in two-year period 2014/2016.
The current Alitalia Extraordinary Commissioners, Giuseppe Leogrande, Daniele Santosuosso and Gabriele Fava, represented by the lawyer and professor Roberto Borgogno, are a civil party in the proceedings to protect the creditors of the former national airline, to obtain recognition of the resulting damages by the conduct which, according to the accusation sustained in court by the Public Prosecutor of Civitavecchia Mirco Piloni, would have caused the collapse of Alitalia.
The co-responsibility call of Etihad Airways is based in particular on the accusatory assumption, which must be verified in the course of the trial, that the Emirati airline, despite being a minority shareholder of Alitalia (with 49% of the capital), exercised on the latter, in a continuous and effective manner, a decisive influence on management and control, such as to determine the most relevant choices.
