"The act contrary to official duties was recognized, in relation to the case concerning the project to build the stadium of Roma Calcio, in having De Vito chaired the assembly on June 14, 2017, expressing its vote there. favorable to the approval of the project itself and to the related variants of the Master Plan (which took place with 28 votes in favor and 9 against): the assumption - the judges of the Supreme Court write - is seriously inadequate in terms of motivation (...). moreover, it fails to consider, despite the express request for the defense, supported by the documentation produced at the hearing of the Chamber of Commerce, that the aforementioned meeting of June 14, 2017 - chaired by De Vito in line with its own institutional appearance - intervenes at the end of an appreciable procedural procedure, articulated, after the presentation of the project over three years before, under the syndication Marino, and a first declaration of pub the interest of the work by the Giunta of the time, from a convergent public declaration in this sense by the mayor Raggi, although with the indication of a significant decrease in the commercial volume of the project, and of the subsequent adoption of a collimating resolution by Giunta, followed by the positive opinions of the permanent commissions and of the IX Municipio, concerned by the execution of the project, before the session in question ".

"All in the absence of any substantive evidence attached - the judges of the Cassation point out - of an unexpected change in the line on the part of the council majority and of an activity on the part of De Vito, aimed at averting such (completely conjectural state ) hypothesis, or rather to modify in a more appropriate sense to the interests of the private the already evident favor of the communal majority, having remained unexplored any possible profiles of opposition to the public interest of the overall project ".

On 12 July the Court of Cassation, accepting the appeal of the defenses, canceled the order of the Rome Review Court against the president of the Capitoline assembly Marcello De Vito and the other subjects involved in relation to the affair linked to the case. construction of the new stadium and had canceled the charge relating to the part of the redevelopment of the Trastevere train station without delay.
