According to what is learned, the confirmations that the investigation is destined to expand will arrive shortly.

Pietro Li Sacchi, an official of the Asp del Pta Guadagna in via Giorgio Arcoleo in Palermo, met other pharmacists. And with other professionals he would have set up the same thing scam that led to the arrest of four owners of pharmacies and parapharmacies.

The investigation by the carabinieri of the judicial police unit is focusing on this of the prosecutors who are sifting through the hundreds of authorizations, signed by the official, which have allowed them to do business on diapers and food for celiacs.

So the Farmagate investigation could still expand to involve other pharmacies in the area. There is talk of another ten pharmacies that could end up in the investigation. Candela, then commissioner confirmed general manager had reported that following random checks carried out by the staff of the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of the Asp of Palermo, numerous accounting irregularities would have been ascertained in the invoices presented by Giuseppe Pepe's "Trossarelli" pharmacies, "Farmacia del Vespro" by Gaetano Sirchia, "Farmacia Genovese" by Diego Genovese and the "Parapharmacy" by Andrea Lo Iacono, to obtain reimbursement from the Hospital Company for the disbursements of health aids provided to users of the National Health Service and related to incontinence diabetes and celiac disease. According to what is learned, the confirmations that the investigation is destined to expand will arrive shortly.

The day after tomorrow the investigating judge Nicola Aiello will question the pharmacists, the official and the former temporary worker Giuseppe Villano who carried out the courier business. It has been ascertained by the investigations that Pietro Li Sacchi, contrary to what is said about civil servants, worked a lot. He started very early in the morning, before the arrival of colleagues and at the end of the day his work continued even away from the Guadagna territorial garrison.

The carabinieri filmed and photographed the meetings with Giuseppe Villano, the man in charge of transporting the diapers.It was to him that the official handed over the blocks of false authorizations printed by logging into his confidential account. Villano delivered the false authorizations personally to Giuseppe Pepe, owner of the pharmacy who never failed to give him a festive welcome. In exchange for the authorisations, Giuseppe Villano received large stocks of diapers, which were crammed into his car and subsequently sent to non-EU citizens who had not yet been identified. This is another line of inquiry.
