Over 400 sentences, investigations and disputed expenses increase, there is an economic recovery after two years of decline due to Covid but inflation is also growing and we are witnessing high increases, they arrive in funds from the NRP (about 200 billion) and their use must be verified because "only the regular realization" of the foreseen disbursements "will give" the expected benefits. And the college will "check".
It is the introduction of President Donata Cabras at the inauguration of the judicial year of the Court of Auditors in Cagliari in the presence of the accounting attorney Domenico Tridico and the local and regional authorities and the representatives of the police. The president stressed the lack of administrative and judicial staff (in the prosecutor's office 2020 was difficult, only one deputy prosecutor), with the return to almost normalcy for prosecutors only in recent months. In any case, productivity has increased and numerous investigations have resulted in convictions for tax liability.
Among the cases cited, those of regional councilors (funds to groups), of public employees who are absent from work, of companies that confiscate public funds and then do not realize the entrepreneurial purpose, of lawyers of public bodies who make mistakes in submitting appeals, of a university secretary who pocketed public money. For the Tridico prosecutor, in the last period there are legislative interventions that "limit the principle" according to which public employees must answer in person for their "illegal acts", leading to a progressive "de-responsibility".
The so-called "fear of signing", which would block administrative work, is "emphasized". Attention to large resources, which refer to "organized crime", and it is "a mistake to mitigate the safeguards of legality and guarantee of correct work". De-responsibility "involves higher costs" and is an "illogical choice". In 2021, 27 sentences were pronounced for pecuniary damage concerning regional councilors for a total of 3,430,465 euros and a high school teacher held responsible for image damage for having been convicted of sexual violence and a former councilor were brought to trial regional government that had used public money to cover the costs of their marriage.
In the first two months of the year, eleven invitations to deduct and 26 summons were issued for a total of € 3 million in damages. GDP is growing, but “there is no development without ethics”.
