€70,000 bonus for the engineer investigated for the Niscemi landslide.

The article reports that Sergio Tumminello, one of 13 individuals under investigation for the Niscemi landslide in Sicily, received a €70,000 bonus for 'results achieved' while serving as head of the commission for hydrogeological instability. The prosecutor alleges that his inaction contributed to the disaster, which occurred shortly after he submitted documentation proving the achievement of results. Tumminello was appointed commissioner by Sicilian Governor Renato Schifani in November 2024 and held the position until December 2025. The report highlights concerns over the efficiency of public works projects, citing a Court of Auditors review showing only one project completed out of 104 funded in Sicily in 2024. Tumminello defended the findings, attributing delays to standard bureaucratic processes.
