Trial of Totò Orlando, statute of limitations hanging by a thread

Palermo, la giunta approva il piano triennale delle opere pubbliche

The crime itself is already prescribed but now for Totò Orlando there is one last, incredibly delicate step, to make the trial drop into nothingness – and consequently the one year and six months sentence – that has seen him so far “defeated”: the appeal against the sentence of the former City of Public Works is guilty of attempted extortion, must pass the admissibility test. Only in this way can the Supreme Court declare the extinction of the crime for prescription, definitely closing the legal case, but perhaps not yet the political confrontation.
