23 December 2019The regional prosecutor of the Court of Auditors of Lazio sues 8 MIUR and state property officials for the occupation of the Casapound building in Via Napoleone III, in Rome. The quantified damage is over 4.5 million euro and the discussion hearing is set for April 21 next. Casapound is not involved in the matter as a private entity on which the Court of Auditors cannot intervene.

The accounting magistrates point out in the document notified to the parties that the property in question "is an asset owned by the State, belonging to the unavailable property". According to the prosecutors "a sort of 'reverse expropriation' is not tolerable in a rule of law, which has ended up subtracting for over three decades a six-storey building, the historic seat of public offices, from the (unavailable) assets of the State , thus causing certain and substantial damage to the Treasury ".

The writ of summons reads: "In the specific case, the managers in charge of the competent offices have not given instructions to act in the course of administrative self-protection and to cultivate the civil actions aimed at the return of the asset and the compensation for damages which, requested via autonomous or in the context of criminal or civil possessory and petitorial actions (never filed or never cultivated), would have been liquidated in court (always to an extent equal to the rental fees not received) ".

The suspects "also did not give instructions to request the occupancy allowance sine titulo from the occupants of the property in question and to set them in default, starting from the Casapound Association". According to the Court of Auditors "the story in question shows, with all the evidence of the simple narration of the facts, the very serious negligence and the very poor care (bad management) that the public administration has shown towards an entire public-owned building of six floors, which for more than 15 years has been removed from the state and public purposes, in clear violation of the most basic rules of (sound) management of public affairs ".

Furthermore, according to the accounting magistrates "it is not possible to doubt the knowledge of the occupation by the administrations and its managers in charge of the branch of competence - and therefore the identity of the occupying entity - for the simple reason that it, as emerges in particular from the flyer of the time, took place in the light of the sun and was even the subject of a political claim ("we occupied"), with an indication of the "expropriated" public building as a "meeting point, for the whole district", as well as even the seat of the association itself ("Casapound, Via Napoleone III", bottom left) ".

"If the need was and is to give housing to people in difficulty or housing discomfort (which, as seen, is to be verified) - underlines the Lazio Court of Auditors - it was necessary and necessary to activate the procedures for assigning public residential housing or other forms of housing assistance, while tolerating for over a decade the abusive occupation, therefore outside of any rule, of dozens and dozens of publicly owned apartments, moreover in a prestigious building in the center of Rome , in addition to being abnormal in a rule of law and being a source of potential "disintegration of the same civil cohabitation" (to put it in Cassation 24198 of 2018, cit.), it also ends up affecting the subjective legal situations of all those entitled to years await the assignment of a home, according to regular administrative procedures, to the qualifications of each applicant (socio-economic situation, income, and cc.) and the position in the relative rankings ".
