The Municipality of Carini closes the Impastato pizzeria: "It is not in order"

Cessation of activity for Impastato pizzeria, run by the wife of Giovanni Impastato, Peppino's brother, the militant of Proletarian Democracy killed by the mafia on May 9th 1978. The provision was issued by the Suap of Carini, following an anonymous complaint that would have triggered it the controls of the Municipal Police of Carini, Guardia di Finanza, and Asp Palermo.

The disputes made are different: licenses issued by the Municipality of Cinisi instead of by Carini, which has territorial jurisdiction, lack of sanitation, unauthorized structural modifications and alleged irregularities on tax receipts. The area on which the pizzeria is located, on the highway 113, near the motorway junction, is in the municipality of Carini, but licenses for the administration of alcoholic beverages and that for the tobacconist were inexplicably released several years ago by the municipality of Cinisi .

"It is a temporary closure – explains Giovanni Impastato – those licenses were issued to my father over 60 years ago by the municipality of Cinisi because then it was thought that half of the premises were in the territory of Cinisi, so my father asked our municipality. Today, I discover that following these checks we are at Carini, so it is a problem of borders. Municipal police and municipality of Carini told me that the property falls within its territory, so we must adapt ».

However, irregularities would also have been detected due to some structural changes in the restaurant that hosts the pizzeria, which would have moved the author of the complaint and then the checks and investigations by the financial police, the Carini and Asp municipal police with the measures transmitted to the prosecutor in Palermo.

"For over a month in the restaurant, which I would like to point out, it is rented and the owner has never done any work, we are doing work – explains Impastato – because there was actually some problem, the kitchens were modernized, we added two more bathrooms on the there is asbestos roof and we have already done all the practices to eliminate it and dispose of it, with the aim of also putting the solar panels. We are a garrison of legality – underlines Peppino's brother – we have seven employees who for the time being are not working and waiting for us, in that place they also gave me several intimidating acts that we reported to the prosecutor. We had Caselli, Saviano and even Grasso, we do initiatives with Libera. Perhaps we are uncomfortable to someone, "he concludes.
