ITA Airways, former CEO Lazzerini under investigation for corruption: he allegedly provided “Volare” cards as a gift to the Privacy Guarantor to soften a sanction for the violation of employees’ personal data

Eheh now that European planes they’re running out of fuel these 6k tiles, they would be worth nothing =) The motivation “since the Guarantor is important because they follow our business, so we give them the executive cards” seems even more stupid, precisely because you know that it is an entity that watches over you, you should not grant any favoritism, much less dozens of thousands of euros in privileges.

The segment involving the manager, who he held the position from 2020 to 2023is the one relating to some tiles «Volare Executive Class», worth 6 thousand euros each, which according to the investigators would represent the benefits obtained by the Authority’s board after the opaque sanction imposed on the airline.

Ita Airways was, in fact, at the center of a controversy over the illicit processing of the personal data of some of the company’s managers and employees. The activity of the magistrates of Piazzale Clodio, coordinated by the deputy Giuseppe De Falcofocuses on what was accomplished by the Board which, while recognizing violations in the processing of data of a former manager of the company, imposed a formal sanction, a warning, and not a financial sanction.

Just on Thursday, the Guardia di Finanza – the Economic and Financial Police unit – went, on behalf of the Capitoline prosecutors, to the company’s offices to carry out a series of documentary acquisitions. “We have provided full collaboration to the competent authorities by making the requested information available in a transparent manner” which, underlines a company note, “refers to previous management”.

Cards which, based on a preview of the Report, which came into possession of some emails, would have been required for members of the Colleges (Agostino Ghiglia, Ginevra Cerrina Feroni, Pasquale Stanzione and Guido Scorza), by Stefano Aterno, partner of the firm founded by Scorza, and at the time responsible for the processing of the airline’s data.

According to what the Rai Tre broadcast the request was received through Ada Fiaschi, current DPO of Ita Airwayswho on 30 November 2022 wrote an email to the airline’s offices to request, as requested by Aterno, the release of Volare cards, executive level, because – he writes – «it would be attention to an increasingly important authority in a business like ours that deals with big data».
