The Court of Torre Annunziata has accepted the requests of the bankruptcy trustee of Deiulemar Compagnia di Navigazione SpA, ordering Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena SpA to pay €1.591.885,28, plus interest, monetary revaluation, and legal fees.
The ruling, issued on November 5, 2025 by Judge Valentina Vitulano, comes in the first instance and consolidates the curatorship's accusatory approach towards the institutions involved in the bankruptcy.
The key points of the device
Amount awarded: €1.591.885,28.
Accessories: interest and monetary revaluation.
Costs: sentence to legal costs.
Level: first instance decision, appealable.
The precedent of October 31st
On October 31st, in the same set of disputes, another ruling saw Ubi Banca lose, resulting in a favorable outcome for savers. This double ruling, just a few days apart, outlines a direction that strengthens the creditors' claims and supports the Receivership's procedural approach.
The context of the crack
The Deiulemar bankruptcy is among the most complex corporate insolvency cases in Campania. Thousands of savers and bondholders have been waiting for years for compensation related to the collapse of the historic shipping company. The actions filed against various institutions aim to clarify responsibilities and recover resources for the liabilities.
Why the ruling weighs favorably on creditors
The conviction against MPS increases the prospects, albeit partial,—as lawyer Lelio Mancino points out—of recovery for the creditors. It does not provide immediate relief, but:
strengthens the negotiating power of the Curatorship;
it feeds the coffers for future distributions;
creates a useful precedent in similar cases.
What happens now
Since this is the first instance case, possible appeals are expected. The Receivership has already announced that it will continue to defend savers' interests and will provide updates on subsequent developments and any new rulings that may consolidate its favorable position.
The parties and positions
The bankruptcy trusteeship, assisted by its lawyers, maintains the validity of the actions filed. The November 5th decision, signed by Judge Vitulano, confirms the existence of liability on the part of the defendant institution, which is now ordered to pay sums with additional costs and expenses.
Impact on savers
For the small investors involved, the combined decisions of October 31st and November 5th are a sign of confidence: the process remains long and punctuated by the judicial process, but the procedural trajectory is favorable to the reconstruction of the bankruptcy estate and the prospect of more substantial distributions.
