The Court of Appeal of Rome, before which the second-instance trial is pending, having heard the request to replace the precautionary measure of imprisonment with that of house arrest, on 15 December 2022, accepted the defense complaints proposed by the lawyers Vincenzo Esposito and Cesare Placanica, ordering the replacement of the measure for Giovanni Giugliano.
In the first instance he had been sentenced to 9 years of imprisonment, in conjunction with other defendants, for various charges of extortion, self-laundering and usury, all aggravated by art. 416 bis 1 of the penal code.
The defense team highlighted how the precautionary framework had already undergone a significant change as a result of the annulment during the re-examination, also on the basis of the provisions of the Supreme Court of Cassation, of some contested hypotheses of self-laundering, extortion and the aggravating circumstance of art. 416 bis 1 cp. The precautionary requirements were further weakened by the trial phase where the position of the defendant Giugliano Giovanni was clarified.
After the first degree trial, all the defendants filed an appeal. The evidence acquired during the trial allowed a precautionary turn for many positions with the replacement of the measure originally applied.
