Alleged irregularities in the management of enrollments with limited numbers of medical faculties, in the recruitment of teachers, assistants and hospital managers.
Since this morning the carabinieri of the Nas of Milan have been carrying out searches and acquiring documents as part of an investigation ordered by the prosecutor Luigi Furno and the adjunct Eugenio Fusco which sees 33 people under investigation, including 24 professors from the universities of the Lombard capital, of Pavia, Turin, Rome and Palermo.
Among the suspects there is also the infectious disease specialist of the Sacco of Milan Massimo Galli.
Among the charges hypothesized for various reasons, criminal association, corruption, abuse of office. An episode of disturbance and false ideology has also been contested.
The investigation launched in March 2018, upon reporting of irregularities in the management of limited number enrollments at the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry of the State University of Milan, concerns several episodes of conditioning the public recruitment of full and associate professors - but also of assistants and hospital managers - according to non-merit-based criteria, but aimed at favoring specific candidates through the preventive "profiling" of the competition notices on the chosen one to be favored, and also thanks to the timely choice of compliant members of the competition commissions.
Massimo Galli as professor at the University of Milan, "department of biomedical and clinical sciences" al Sacco, and director of the infectious diseases department, would have "troubled" with "promises and collusions", in competition with the dg of Asst Fatebenefratelli-Sacco Alessandro Visconti and his colleague Manuela Nebuloni, the procedure for hiring "4 biologist managers" on a fixed-term basis to favor "two candidates" in particular.
Assumptions that were, however, "strongly" opposed by Maria Rita Gismondo, also a well-known virologist of the Sacco.
In addition to Galli, there is another well-known virologist at the forefront of the Covid emergency among the suspects. This is Massimo Andreoni, full professor at the Sapienza University of Rome, scientific director of the Italian Society of Infectious Diseases and head physician at the Tor Vergata polyclinic. Andreoni answers falsely in competition with Galli and other colleagues, as a member of the jury of the competition launched in July 2020 for a second-tier professor at the University of Turin.
