House Arrest Revoked for Entrepreneur in Italy-Tunisia Waste Trafficking Case

There are no longer serious indications of guilt: for this reason, the preliminary investigation judge of the Salerno court has revoked the house arrest ordered against entrepreneur Federico Palmieri, 27 years old, one of the 16 people involved last February in the investigation by the Dia and the Carabinieri of the Noe of Potenza on an alleged illicit traffic of waste between Italy and Tunisia. Eleven precautionary measures were notified to as many suspects. The judge accepted the request made by Palmieri - who becomes a partner of Sra srl, a company involved in the investigation, since November 2020 - highlighting among other things that the last container of the incriminated waste traffic arrived in Tunisia in July 2020. And up to that date Palmieri was in no way involved in the investigation, "there being no moral and material contribution from him to the completion of the conducts of transfer, reception, transport, and export of the material contained in the containers". But according to the preliminary investigation judge, the precautionary measure should be revoked also in relation to the subsequent period, when Federico Palmieri acquires a formal role within Sra: the investigations conducted through the analysis of mobile phones and the suspect's computer, in fact, do not show serious indications against him.
