The Milan Court of Appeal sentenced the former chief executive of Italy’s principal highway operator, Autostrade per l’Italia, to 12 years in prison. The ruling, delivered on Tuesday, marks the culmination of a criminal trial that examined the former manager’s conduct while overseeing the nation’s extensive toll‑road network.
Autostrade per l’Italia, which administers the majority of Italy’s motorways, has been the focus of several investigations into the management of public infrastructure contracts. The 12‑year term underscores the judiciary’s stance on alleged misconduct within the sector and signals that the convicted individual may pursue an appeal in higher courts, a step that could extend the legal proceedings.
