The Milan prosecutor's office has requested the arrest of Stefano Boeri, Cino Zucchi and Pier Paolo Tamburelli. The three architects are accused of bid rigging and risk being placed under house arrest.

The Guardia di Finanza has in fact notified him to undergo preventive questioning, scheduled for February 4 before investigating judge Luigi Iannelli, Italian media write . 

As Carlo Nordio's reform foresees, only after questioning the suspects will the judge decide whether or not to arrest them based on the existence of prior needs. The story concerns the international design competition for the construction of the new Beic, the European Library of Information and Culture: financed with 101 million from the PNRR, it should be built by 2026 in the Porta Vittoria area.

Boeri and Zucchi are also under investigation for "false declarations regarding their own or others' identities or personal qualities". The investigating judge also denied the preventive seizure of over 5.2 million euros from the accounts of the persons under investigation and the professional firms involved.

Italian architect Stefano Boeri, who is under investigation in Italy, was one of the main architects of Tirana's urban plan and known as a friend of Prime Minister Edi Rama.
