Ticinogate: the affair linked to the friendship between the president of the Criminal Court Franco Verda and the smuggler Gerardo Cuomo. A first for Switzerland: never before had a Canton put its own judge in the dock until his arrest that would materialize on the evening of August 4. But inevitably already starting from the opening of the trial a scandal is created especially for what is soon discovered: the anomalous friendship between a seemingly incorruptible judge and a Neapolitan smuggler like Gerardo Cuomo, a man who in 1992 chose Lugano as a base for his cigarette trade. For Switzerland that trade is legal, but as time goes by suspicions thicken on the fact that the trafficking of "blondes" is only a cog in a much larger mafia system.
