Torre del Greco – More legal troubles for the Mele family, of the former public works councilor Luigi Mele, now head of the municipal transparency commission.
A new preventive seizure, ordered by the investigating judge Riccardo Sena of the Torre Annunziata court, has affected an area owned by Achille Mele, brother of the former councilor, located on the corner between Via Cavallo and Via Circonvallazione.
The illegal swimming pool At the center of the investigators' attention, as has already happened in the past, was a swimming pool. According to the investigations, the swimming facility was built without the necessary authorizations, thus configuring a building crime. The blitz by the municipal police was triggered on Christmas Eve, with the seals affixed by order of the judge.
A habit that repeats itself It's not the first time the family Mele ends up at the center of investigations related to building abuses. Already during the previous municipal administration, irregularities had emerged regarding the construction of swimming pools, some of which were even found to be "ghost".
The shadow of previous investigations The previous investigations, while leading to a series of acquittals due to the statute of limitations, had highlighted a modus operandi that seems to repeat itself over time. The new accusations cast a heavy shadow on the work of the Mele family and put the spotlight back on the issue of illegal building in Torre Annunziata.

The Mele family's situation is increasingly complicated, especially after the last seizure. It's strange that there are always these problems with swimming pools. There should be more controls to avoid building abuses in the future.
