Maxi investigation on Urban Planning, the prosecutor requests to archive Sala, Boeri, Catella

The Milan Prosecutor's Office has requested the dismissal of charges against several key figures, including Mayor Giuseppe Sala, in a major urban planning investigation. The inquiry involved allegations of corruption, falsehood, and undue influence, leading to seven arrests in 2025, which were later annulled. The prosecutor's decision to seek dismissal indicates insufficient evidence for corruption claims, and the main charge of abuse of office was not pursued due to its decriminalization. Despite this, the investigation has prompted significant administrative changes within the municipality, including a reduced role for the landscape commission and new planning requirements for developers.
