Perhaps. I find it interesting that the only source you ever quote for Rossi's transgressions is "Corrierre della Sera".
I have no way of knowing what the "credibility" of said publication is, and I suspect you don't either. The Mafia controls a lot of things in Italy.
Your postings from that source are at odds with what information I can glean elsewhere. And in fact, this story is completely at odds with other facts. The date of the reportage is 20 October 2000. If Rossi had served eight years in the pen starting then, he would only have been freed in 2008. Not much time to have worked in the US, made a fortune, and returned to Italy to research cold fusion.
Sorry, your "facts" just don't compute.

It is among the oldest and most reputable Italian newspapers. Its main rivals are Rome's La Repubblica and Turin's La Stampa.And, for some strange reason, no English-language was covering Rossi's considerable criminal career throughout the 1990s.
But, of course, you would rather believe Rossi.

Not much time to have worked in the US, made a fortune, and returned to Italy to research cold fusion.The "information" you "glean elsewhere" is almost certainly someone repeating what they heard from Rossi himself (like asking O.J. Simpson if he killed his ex-wife). If you have any credible, independent information about it, please share it with the rest of us.
Regarding that 8-year prison sentence: To the best of my knowledge, Rossi was incommunicado during that time. I searched for any signs of him in the newspaper archives right up to the point where he appeared with his E-Cat, and found absolutely nothing.
In particular, the newspaper had earlier reported on the reversals for the toxic waste dumping charges (but not the financial fraud charges), so it's reasonable to assume that if Rossi was vindicated, the paper would have covered it.
The fact that there is nothing suggests that he served his time (whatever it would be for an 8-year sentence) and was released in the normal, not newsworthy, course of events.
One interesting tidbit: In the Army report about Rossi's "ThermoElectric Converter", the author states that Rossi returned to Italy in mid-2000 "to continue his work". In reality, he apparently had every intention of returning the the United States (he had a return ticket), but unfortunately for him, he was arrested as a fugitive, convicted and jailed.
Again, if you have any credible, independent information, please share it.
If all you have is a bunch of "Rossi says", then don't bother.
