 On October 9, 2014, Spagnolini and Orsi were sentenced to two years in prison for false bookkeeping but were acquitted of international corruption, a charge on which the prosecutor had asked the court to sentence Orsi to six years in prison and Spagnolini to five years in prison.Judge Luisa Bovitutti said that the false bookkeeping conviction concerned 2009 and 2010 invoices.“In reading the verdict,” reported the "Wall Street Journal", “the judge said that while prosecutors had proven that fake invoices had been issued, there was no corruption.” This represented an apparent rejection of the prosecution's argument that there existed “a direct connection between the false invoices and the payment of kickbacks.”

Orsi and Spagnolini's sentences were suspended.
