The former minister was also acquitted on appeal Nunzia DeGirolamo who had been sent to trial together with other defendants for alleged management irregularities in the ASL Sannita.
An investigation that began at the end of 2013, which exploded in the media at the beginning of 2014 and which led De Girolamo to resign (not under investigation) from the Letta government, in which she was responsible for agricultural policies.
In the afternoon the verdict of acquittal of the Court of Appeal of Benevento, which confirmed the sentence of the tribunal. At the center of the story is the management of the ASL of Benevento, and the existence of what the investigators at the time defined as "a political-party directory" that would have influenced its choices.
“Acquitted after 9 years, a terrible nightmare is finally over”. This is how former minister Nunzia De Girolamo commented to Adnkronos on the acquittal recently confirmed on appeal in the investigation into the ASL of BENEVENTO that in 2014 led to her resignation as Minister of Agricultural Policies, a position she held in the government led by Enrico Letta.
"I am happy - adds the former parliamentarian of the PDL and then of Angelino Alfano's New Centre-Right - that the Court of Appeal has also confirmed my full acquittal and I thank those who, in these difficult years, have shown me closeness and affection. Of course, there remains the bitterness for the media lynching suffered", concludes De Girolamo, recalling how the investigation itself "forced her to leave as minister".
