Court proceedings

Laziogate

In 2005 as part of the Laziogate scandal, Piso is investigated for abusive access to a computer system, aiding and abetting and violation of the electoral law. In March 2007, Piso is remanded for trial.

On May 5, 2010, the Court of Rome sentences him to eight months' imprisonment, despite the fact that prosecutors had asked for his acquittal. Piso appeals.[4]

On October 29, 2012, the Rome Court of Appeal acquits Piso because "the fact does not exist."[5]

Mafia Capitale

As part of the "Mondo di mezzo" investigation into the so-called Mafia Capitale Piso is being investigated by the Rome Public Prosecutor's Office for illegal financing.

On October 6, 2016, prosecutors asked for the case to be dismissed.[6] The Prosecutor's Office had previously decided to maintain the utmost confidentiality on the investigation, which is revealed to the press organs only after the filing request.

On Feb. 7, 2017, prosecutors dismissed the case and acquitted Piso of the charges.[7]
