Request for a sentence of one year and 10 months for Massimo Galli, estimated infectious disease specialist who hit the headlines during the Covid pandemic, for forgery and bid-rigging (secondarily abuse of office) in the trial in which he is accused of allegedly rigged competitionsUniversity of Milan.
According to the Public Prosecutors Carlo Scalas and Eugenia Bianca Maria Baj Macario of the Public Prosecutor's Office Milan, Galli allegedly rigged a university competition in April 2020 to favor his "protégé" Agostino Riva, then resulted the winner. For Riva the Prosecutor's Office requested 1 year and 6 months in prison.
The prosecution claims that Galli has “tailor-made” the announcement of the competition to favor Riva, who obtained the chair of Associate Professor in Infectious Diseases with a score slightly higher than that of the head of the Niguarda hospital Massimo Puoti, the other candidate.
The words of the magistrates
“Galli was the director of a tender tailor-made for Riva”, stated in court the PM Scalas during his closing speech. A competition "born flawed", “calibrated on scientific publications” di Riva, who has worked with Galli since 1997. “It was a competition for Riva”, continued the PM. "Co-optation is legal in some countries, but not in Italy. In Italy, a real competition is needed, a selection that in this case did not take place."
According to the Prosecutor's Office, the competition won by Riva was “totally crooked”The evaluation criteria “they were tailored to the individual candidate's CV”, explained PM Scalas. "Puoti's profile is much more structured. He was a primary at the Niguarda hospital and had already been a second-level professor in Brescia for 5 years."
Despite the unfavorable outcome of the competition, Puoti did not challenge Galli. “Going against Galli means going against a media machine, it was like going against Maradona in Naples in the 80s”, the PM stressed.
Galli: “I will speak at the end of the trial”
The infectious disease specialist, who retired in September 2021, was present in the courtroom during the closing speech. “I will speak at the end of the trial,” he told reporters. “Comparing me to Maradona in the 1980s? It’s ridiculous.”
Galli's trial is ongoing and a ruling is expected in the coming weeks. The case has sparked a heated debate on ethics and transparency in university competitions in Italy.
Caivano – An arrest that brings to light one of the most dramatic pages in Neapolitan news. Yesterday, the Carabinieri snapped handcuffs on Ciro Migliore, a 27-year-old already known to law enforcement, during a drug raid in Caivano's green park. The man, identified as an alleged drug dealer, is the same young transgender man who was the boyfriend of Maria Paola Gaglione, the 16-year-old who died in the accident in September 2020. The tragedy, which shocked the entire community, was caused by the victim's brother, Michael Gaglione. As established in the trial, the man, opposing his sister's relationship, chased the couple on a motorcycle. During the chase, the scooter on which Maria Paola and Ciro Migliore were riding crashed, causing the young woman's death. Michele Gaglione was sentenced to 9 years and 6 months in prison for manslaughter. Yesterday's arrest by the police adds a dark piece to Migliore's story. The military raided his home, finding evidence of what appears to be a well-organized drug dealing ring: among the findings, 10 pre-packaged doses of cocaine and crack, packaging material and a "lmaster book" with initials and numbers, likely the accounts from the illegal sale. €1.675 in cash was also seized, presumably the proceeds of the illicit activity. The September 16th investigation is not the first drug dealing investigation involving Ciro Migliore after the death of his girlfriend; already in February 2021, he was targeted by law enforcement for similar crimes. The arrest closes a tragic cycle, where a family loss is intertwined with stories of deviance and illegality.
