Stefano Boeri banned from public competition juries for one year, avoids house arrest
Architect Stefano Boeri has received a one-year ban from being part of jury panels for public competitions as part of an investigation into bid-rigging and forgery. The decision was made by a judge in Milan, who also rejected the request for house arrest against Boeri and fellow architect Cino Paolo Zucchi by Milan’s Public Prosecutor’s Office. In addition to a one-year competition ban, Boeri is prohibited from “concluding” contracts with the public administration as an architect for one year, according to Italian outlet Agenzia Nova. Meanwhile, Zucchi received a “partial” suspension from the exercise of the public office of university professor and an eight-month ban from judging commissions of public contracts. The investigation stems from Boeri and Zucchi’s role as jury members for the 2022 competition for the European Library of Information and Culture in Milan.
