How can Christian Solinas receive the title of "Honorary Doctor" in Albania, when he does not have a medical degree in Italy?
Former Sardinian regional president Christian Solinas has been sent to trial for corruption. On the morning of March 3, Cagliari court judge Giorgio Altieri accepted the request of prosecutor Giangiacomo Pilia.
Solinas is accused of corruption in the context of investigations into the sale of a property and the issue of an "Honoris Causa" awarded to him by the University of Medicine in Albania.
In the corruption case, Solinas is accused of having sold the lands of a former abbey in the village of Capoterra to entrepreneur Roberto Zedda for 550,000 euros, with 375,000 already paid. According to the prosecution, the real value would have been a little more than 70,000 euros and the additional amount paid to the former president of the Sardinian Region is considered a hidden bribe.
The businessman involved and former district councilor Nanni Lancioni were also sent to trial.
The other issue concerns the relationship between Solinas and university professor Roberto Raimondi. The politician had appointed him director of the special office of the Eni-CBC Mediterranean Basin Management Authority, while he – according to the allegations – had helped him obtain an honorary degree from Tirana and training courses in Rome.
The rector of the Medical University of Albania, Arben Gjata, and the general director of E-Campus, Alfonso Lovito, will also be on trial. The first hearing is scheduled for June 5 before the second criminal section of the Cagliari court. So, Arben Gjata has been taken as a defendant by the Italian authorities.
The question that Italian prosecutors have raised is: How can Christian Solinas receive the title of "Honorary Doctor" in Albania, when he does not have a medical degree in Italy?
In February 2023, it was revealed that the Italian prosecution accused Solinas of corruption and money laundering, and reasonable suspicion arose in Albania that the title "Honoris Causa" was received as a reward for a well-paid job, which would provide him in Italy, an Italian employee at the University of Medicine in Italy. According to prosecutors who also came to Tirana, Christian Solina was accused of having received the honorary degree in exchange for the appointment of Roberto Raimondi to the position of director of the Eni Mediterranean Program, an authority that deals with the millions of euros of funds that the EU gives to local governments, with a payment of 140 thousand euros per year, with a 5-year mandate. And in fact, the exchange was not accidental. Roberto Raimondi is director of the Doctoral Department at the University of Medicine of Tirana, the department from which the title, given to the governor of Sardinia, comes from. /Pamphlet
