Former Italian senator and Soresa procurement chairman detained pending trial in November 2026.

Tommaso Casillo, a former Italian senator and chair of Campania healthcare procurement body Soresa, is under investigation for suspected corruption in two public tenders. He was placed in pre-trial detention on 10 November 2026 and has not been convicted. A judge found insufficient serious evidence to support a separate reciprocal-hiring allegation.

2026: Judge rejects alleged corruption in reciprocal hiring case

Investigation

A separate part of the investigation examined 2022–2023 discussions between Casillo and healthcare executive Giuseppe Russo over relatives’ job opportunities.

State of the evidence: Judicial order described in two separate news reports.
Legal status — source text: Preliminary judge found insufficient serious evidence for this particular corruption allegation.
Attribution: Investigators had examined possible improper influence over reciprocal hiring.
