12 July 2019 The former president of the Prevention Measures section of the Court of Palermo, Silvana Saguto, was acquitted "because the fact does not exist", from the accusation of abuse of office. The sentence was issued by the Caltanissetta court presided over by Francesco D'Arrigo. The prosecutor for the defendant had asked for a one-year and four-month sentence.

La Saguto - believed to be at the center of an illicit system of management of assets confiscated from the mafia - had ended up on trial for having appointed a judicial assistant in addition to a judicial administrator in the management of the Torre Artale complex, a hotel in Trabia. "We are satisfied - said the lawyer Giuseppe Reina - it is the first recognition of the legitimacy of the work of Dr. Saguto".
