The article discusses the sentences and acquittals handed down by the Trapani Court at the conclusion of the “Palude” operation investigation conducted by the Guardia di Finanza in 2018. Former chief engineer Giuseppe Pirrello, his son Onofrio Pirrello, and other individuals were convicted and sentenced to prison terms ranging from four to eight years. The investigation revealed that Giuseppe Pirrello, through his son’s technical studio, had facilitated favorable treatments for certain entrepreneurs at the expense of others. The article also mentions the use of bugs and cameras by investigators in Onofrio Pirrello’s studio, where professionals allegedly received preferential treatment in expediting their procedures with the Trapani Civil Engineering Department. Giuseppe Pirrello, a well-known figure in the city, denied the corruption charges brought against him. The investigation was based on financial controls on the supply of water from private wells and led to the indictment and subsequent sentencing of several individuals.
