Prosecutors Paolo Filippini, Mauro Clerici and Tiziana Siciliano have filed charges of illegal urban development and construction abuse against architect Boeri and 6 professionals, including two municipal leaders of Milan, Alberto Viaroli and Giovanni Oggioni.

The investigation began in February 2024 into the project carried out by Stefano Boeri "Bosconovigli", worth 60 million euros.

This project aims to transform Milan's San Cristoforo railway station into a 14-story luxury apartment building, covered in vegetation, with an area of ​​80,000 square meters, a height of 40 meters and a capacity of 90 apartments.

According to the accusation filed by the Milan Prosecutor's Office, this project was approved in the absence of an implementation plan, foreseen for constructions that exceed the 25-meter height stipulated by law.

This lack of documentation has caused the Municipality of Milan a damage of 5 million euros.

The accusation is based on the approval of the building permit, signed by the President of the Milan 5.0 company and the municipal leader Alberto Viaroli.

The trial on the "Bosconavigli" file will begin in September 2025.
