Judge Daniela Vecchiarelli approved the plea bargain, also ordering the payment of two thousand euros in damages. The prosecution alleged that Belcuore had warned an inmate, who was illegally in possession of a cell phone in the Santa Maria Capua Vetere prison, of the impending searches of his cell, allowing him to hide the device.
Furthermore, it was alleged that the former surety had tried to secure a positive working relationship for him. In exchange for these favors, Belcuore allegedly received sums of money and gifts, including a pair of luxury shoes from the inmate's sister's shop.
