The court confirmed the first degree sentence also for the entrepreneurs Ignazio Arnone and Marco Arnone, father and son, of Campi Bisenzio, but also in their case with a reduction of the sentence for the prescription of a crime: Ignazio Arnone had 3 years (it had been 3 years and 4 months in first degree), Marco 2 years (from 2 years and 4 years). For all the defendants, including Verdini, the decrease in sentences on appeal occurred due to the prescription of the preferential bankruptcy charge.

The works were carried out and completed and the bank would pay the import to Marco Arnone's CDM company.
