Ciarrapico was also the owner of the large

Regina Coeli on 21 March 1993; in the same year he was again accused and imprisoned for illegal financing of political parties. He was also sentenced 5.5 years (later reduced to 4.5)^[5] in the trial for the Banco Ambrosiano bankrupt.^{[citation needed}

In 1997 he founded a newspaper, Oggi Sicilia, which was closed in 2000. Ciarrapico's chain of local newspapers also included Ciociaria Oggi, Latina Oggi and Nuovo Oggi Molise. In 2012 Ciarrapico's publishing company was sold because of financial difficulties.^{[citation needed]}

In 2010, when he was a senator for Silvio Berlusconi's party, part of his properties were confiscated by the Guardia di Finanza due to Ciarrapico's illegal acquisition of state contributions for a total of 20 million euros between 2002 and 2007.^[6]
