The CEO of Cinecittà, Manuela Cacciamani, has stated that she is not listed in the register of individuals under investigation in relation to the tax credit inquiry affecting the Italian film industry. This investigation involves allegations regarding the misuse of tax credits allocated for audiovisual productions, which prompted a raid by the financial police at the offices of The Apartment Srl, a production company under Fremantle Group. The focus of the inquiry appears to be on documents related to the film 'Queer' and the television series 'M. figlio del secolo' for the years 2022-2023, mainly concerning events prior to Cacciamani's administration.

In her statement, Cacciamani referred to a recent article published by the newspaper La Repubblica that claimed she was under investigation, asserting that no such registration exists according to her inquiries with the Rome Public Prosecutor's Office. She emphasized that the newspaper's reporting, presented as fact rather than doubt, is unfounded and lacks any substantial evidence to support the claims. This response highlights the critical sensitivity surrounding investigations within the Italian film industry, particularly concerning tax credits.

Cacciamani's defense is crucial not only for her personal reputation but also for Cinecittà and the broader context of filmmaking in Italy, which is heavily reliant on public funding and tax incentives. The outcome of the investigation may have significant implications on how tax credits are utilized in future productions, as well as the overall trust in management within the industry. This situation reflects an ongoing scrutiny of the film financing mechanisms in Italy, demonstrating the complexities involved in balancing financial support and regulatory oversight.
