The article reports on investigations by the mobile team of the police headquarters in Catania into the relationship between the assistant chief of the prison police at the Giarre prison, Carmelo Palo, and the inmate Antonino Di Grazia. It emerged that the bar “Caffè Etna” was fraudulently registered under the names of straw men to avoid preventive measures. The Catania Prosecutor’s Office noted that the initial estimate of the value of the “Caffè Etna” and its assets is around 600,000 euros, and the pre-trial judge has ordered the two suspects to be held in custody and their assets to be seized for fraudulent transfer of funds.
