Stefano Ranucci

In 2021, Ranucci's team made the headlines for the mass firing of unionized employees and for controversial episodes of firings followed by sudden re-hiring of the same employees, which resulted in employees coming to work on days that were not covered by regular contracts.^[3][4]

In 2023, an investigation was opened on Ranucci and his associates (Stefano Bandecchi, Giovanni Puoti, and Fabio Stefanelli), citing false tax declarations.^[5][6] According to the prosecutors of the revenue agency, tax-free money deriving from Università Nicolò Cusano were diverted into for-profit businesses, which the team managed using the University as a source of non-taxable income.^[7][8]
