Attempted 2 million extortion, 'pay or we'll kill you'

They would have made him "catch a glimpse of the butt of a gun" and would have also uttered phrases such as "you must do what we tell you, otherwise we will kill you", as well as sending him messages like this: "be good, everyone is better off".

These are just some of the alleged threats aimed at the entrepreneur

, owner of Ferco srl which deals with cleaning services especially in health contracts, the victim of an alleged attempted extortion of over 2 million euros.

As part of the investigation two days ago (the news was made public today) the Milan mobile squad

.

is also under investigation (not arrested)

.

Turola, 42,

(not elected) in the Lombardy regional elections of March 2018 in Maurizio Lupi's 'We with Italy' list (unrelated to the investigation).

It can be read in the order of the investigating judge Ramundo from which it appears that Paolo Cambedda, also in prison, speaking intercepted with Boiocchi, indicated Turola as "the politician".

Among other things, we read in the documents, Turola, who negotiated 4 and a half years in Palermo after the arrest for corruption in May 2020 (for having favored Ferco di Costa in a contract), in 2019 "had been part of a consortium of entrepreneurs who had taken over the Savona football club ".

Then, there are the

in which Boiocchi also spoke of the alleged plan of intimidation against Costa.

Already in January 2021, speaking with Cambedda, he would have referred to a "recovery" to be done, that is a "credit recovery", the one on behalf of Turola.

And on February 18 he asked: "Do you need a harness (fake of the GDF, ed) and that's it?".

And Cambedda replied: "Yes , I carry

". The plan of the March blitz (interrupted by the intervention, not accidental, of the police), according to the interceptions," would have been to take "Costa from his offices and take him to Turola's house and then tell him:" you must hurry. "Costa decided to report the threats on June 18. According to the ordinance, the entrepreneur was" well aware "of who was the" instigator "of those intimidations and what the" context "was.

As emerges from the precautionary custody order signed by the investigating judge Ileana Ramundo, at the request of the prosecutor Carlo Scalas, the "extortion claim" brought forward by the group (five suspects for attempted extortion) would be consummated "in three 'rounds'", that is with

, to the entrepreneur's workplaces.

And the reason for that request for money lay in the fact that Turola claimed to have won a tender for Ferco di Costa for cleaning services in Sicily.

He had been arrested for corruption and auction disruption in May 2020 in an investigation by the Palermo prosecutors, in which he was indicated as the "referent" of Ferco.

In 2014 Enzo Costa was involved in a tranche of the now well-known Milanese investigation into the 'dome for Expo tenders' and immediately collaborated with the investigators.
