The Municipality of Oristano will appear as a civil party in the criminal trial for fraud in public supplies in which the two managers of the companies Easy Help of Recanati and Stop of Macerata, managers of the paid parking service in the city, are accused.
In the preliminary hearing, set for next April 26, the civic administration will be represented by the body's lawyer Gianna Caccavale.
"The Municipality, as the offended party to the crime - explains the lawyer - will present for the moment a request for general compensation for damages to be quantified in a separate civil proceeding in the event that the breach of contract is demonstrated".
In the same way, compensation will be estimated, even if only in a symbolic measure, for damage to image. A surety guarantee on the definitive deposit (amounting to 429,710 euros) produced by the successful tenderer would, however, guarantee the Entity any compensation.
The investigation had started last summer after a complaint presented to the Prosecutor's Office : under the magnifying glass of the military of the Judicial Police the number of employees employed for the service of guarding the city streets, clearly lower than that foreseen by the specifications.
