They altered the covid data provided to the Istituto Superiore di Sanità to obtain milder measures regarding anti-contagion regulations: some officials of the Sicily Region arrested.

The Carabinieri of the NAS of Palermo and the Provincial Command of Trapani have in fact executed a precautionary measure order of house arrest, issued by the investigating judge of the Trapani court, at the request, as a matter of absolute urgency, of the Public Prosecutor's Office, against members of the Regional Department for Health Activities and Epidemiological Observatory (Dasoe) of the Health Department of the Sicily region.

The crimes contested are material and ideological forgery in competition. In particular, those arrested are accused of having altered, on several occasions, the flow of data regarding the SarsCov-2 pandemic (by modifying the number of positives and swabs) directed to the Istituto Superiore di Sanità, effectively altering the database on which to adopt the subsequent measures to contain the spread of the virus.

The general manager of Dasoe Maria Letizia Di Liberti, the regional official Salvatore Cusimano and the employee of a company that deals with the IT management of the department's data Emilio Madonia ended up under house arrest. The investigation stems from the discovery that in a laboratory in Alcamo (Tp), hence the jurisdiction of the Trapani Prosecutor's Office, falsified data on dozens of swabs had been provided. The prosecutors have started investigations that have reached the regional department. Several wiretaps would confirm the alteration of the data sent to the ISS.
