The Fusillo investigation – carried out by the economic-financial police unit of the financial police (headed by colonel Luca Cioffi) and coordinated by the vicar prosecutor Roberto Rossi and from the pm Lanfranco Marazia – revolves around the bankruptcy of the companies Fimco and Maiora and the subsequent transfer of shares and funds in companies controlled by the same entrepreneurs of Noci.
According to the hypotheses of the investigators, the People’s Bank would have granted credit to the Fusillos, although aware of the absolute inability to return. In this way the debt of the entrepreneurs would have reached about 340 million. Fusillo and “the dominant banking partner – is written in the court order Luigia Lambriola – they would have operated according to an opaque strategy, shifting significant segments of assets in favor of third economies, such as investment funds with offices abroad, of which Banca Popolare di Bari and the Fusillo group directly or indirectly secured control. In this way, the assets stolen from companies that have gone bankrupt today remained in the hands of the proponents of the illicit initiative “.
