An acquittal arrives for Fabrizio Corona.

The 'king of the paparazzi' was acquitted "because the fact does not exist" for the well-known story of the

2.6 million euros in cash

found in 2016 partly in a false ceiling of his friend and collaborator Francesca Persi and partly in two cassettes security in Austria.

The former photographic agent was charged with an

"omitted tax return"

, ie for not having paid taxes on those sums.   

With the sentence of 12 June 2017 of the college chaired by Guido Salvini, the objections to Corona had already been swept away at the time, including

the fictitious title of assets

, on those 2.6 million euros.

He charges that they had taken him to jail in October 2016. 

The former 'VIP photographer', who is serving his sentence for definitive sentences in therapeutic custody, was

sentenced to 6 months

in the trial arising from the case of the money in the false ceiling , but for a tax offense on a tax bill, released from main charges.

His lawyer, the lawyer Ivano Chiesa, had filed with the judge of the first criminal section of the Court of Milan Andrea Ghinetti a series of documents to demonstrate that on that money there had already been "the fulfillment of the tax debt by part of Atena ”, a company and advertising agency of the same Corona. 

Money that after a kidnapping were returned to Athena.

In any case, in the proceedings it was contested that that company was a

"mere screen" of the entrepreneurial activity of Corona

and he as a natural person was accused of not having paid taxes and having evaded the tax authorities.   

The final sentences, the lawyer always pointed out, acquitted the former 'VIP photographer' of the main charges, including the fictitious title of assets, on those 2.6 million euros, also establishing that "

there was no corporate shielding

".

"We are happy because sometimes things go well - added Corona's other lawyer, Cristina Morrone - and when the

elements all go in favor of the accused

, as in this trial, they lead to an acquittal".

“There was talk of unpaid taxes by Fabrizio Corona - specifies Morrone -, but in reality they had already been paid by the company.

He

did not have to pay taxes as a natural person

and this has been documented and demonstrated through witnesses and therefore the accusation of omitted tax return has fallen ".
