Saronno – The echo of the Carabinieri operation in the city hospital morgue certainly has not yet died out in Saronno, where the owners of 4 funeral homes (outside Saronno) paid some staff to “address” the relatives of the deceased to choose this or that honorary company for the funeral. But funeral homes also paid workers to perform tasks that were their responsibility, such as dressing the deceased; Or allowing relatives – even in a period of global emergency when it was coronavirus – to see their loved ones. In fact, precisely with the increase in deaths in the worst moments of the epidemic, the “gratuities” of the morgue staff became more numerous and thus the “profits” also increased.

It is not clear how much “valuable” the reports that then led the client to the funeral home were, but for small “services”, such as streamlining procedures, modest sums were handed out, some talking about 50 euros, and in some cases even a mere 20 euros.
