They threatened and assaulted then-regional councilor Francesco Emilio Borrelli, now a member of parliament, even attempting to run him over. More than five years after that incident, the two illegal parking attendants were sentenced to six months of unsuspended prison, in addition to court costs and damages to the injured party. Borrelli was assisted by the lawyer Stefano Paparella.
The events date back to March 3, 2019, when Borrelli was in the Santa Lucia area documenting the activities of illegal parking attendants during a site inspection. Caught while being filmed, the two men began shouting at him, threatening him, and then chasing him. At one point, one of them approached him at high speed on a scooter, attempting to run him over and striking him with a kick.
Borrelli immediately alerted the police, triggering the complaint. "It took more than five years, but justice was finally done. This is the tenth conviction I've managed to obtain thanks to my reports.", commented the MP.

Borrelli then underlined the importance of his commitment against the unauthorized parking: "Mine is a public service battle. Getting certain individuals off the streets is beneficial to the entire community, and more and more citizens share my ideas and my modus operandi. This result demonstrates two things: reporting is useful, and if everyone did it, there would be far fewer problems on the streets.
Borrelli: "Mine is a battle for the public good."
However, complaints would be more effective and immediate if the regulations were different. I cannot intervene alone in all the critical areas, nor take on all the complaints. I have developed a plan and legislative proposals to combat the phenomenon, but the government majority does not believe it is important to address the issue.
