Prosecutors Request Constitutional Court Review of Milano-Cortina 2026 Foundation Classification

Local prosecutors have requested the Constitutional Court to review a decree that classifies the Milano-Cortina 2026 Foundation as a private entity. They believe this decree has hindered the investigation into alleged corruption in digital service tenders related to the 2026 Winter Olympics.

 

In April this year, a decisive turn occurred in the legal disputes surrounding this organization. Judge Patrizia Nobile was asked to review a government decree that came into effect in 2024. Prosecutors Francesca Cajani, Alessandro Gobbis, and Tiziana Siciliano claim that the measure, which was introduced by the government and later became law, directly interferes with the ongoing investigation into corruption in contracts for the Winter Olympics and Paralympics.

 

In a detailed submission spanning over 200 pages, the prosecutors stated, "The decree blocks all possibilities of action in the investigation, from wiretapping to the preventive seizure of funds suspected of being proceeds of crime." Although the document supports an application to close a case involving seven suspects, its main aim is to highlight the need to review the legal framework, which they say impedes progress in matters of public interest.

 

The situation adds another layer of complexity to the preparations for the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, with the legal battle over the foundation's classification potentially having far - reaching implications for both the anti - corruption efforts and the event's overall organization.
