«The last time I sat at the table with Matteo Salvini was at least two years ago. The dinner that some newspapers have talked about never existed. Roberto Calderoli uses a terminology now in vogue (“it’s fake news”) to deny the reconstruction that would have seen him participate, on an evening between May 24 and 27 in Rome, having dinner with the secretary of the Lega Matteo. Salvini, his colleague the senator from Brescia Stefano Borghesi and with the accountant Andrea Manzoni, auditor of the Lega de la Cámara group and trusted professional of the leader of the Northern League.
Senator Calderoli, what were you doing at that Roman dinner?
“I’m sure it never existed.”
Why? How can you be sure?
“The last time I had lunch or dinner with Salvini was no less than two years ago.”
Of course? And with the other subjects identified in the investigation by the Milan prosecutor’s office?
“I haven’t even had a pizza with the other two.”
One is a fellow senator, the other a consultant to the League. Why exclude that he could have met them?
“Unfortunately, there is a personal mishap that reminds me of this. In fact, in May, I broke my fibula and ligament. I moved with great effort, helping myself with crutches. And much less if you could go out to dinner in those conditions. Apart from the fact that I am not in the habit of eating lunch out of the house. I do not really like ‘.
But did you go take a look at your journal? Maybe you don’t remember.
“Trust me, I just wasn’t in the physical condition to go out. The agenda is in my head and in my body that has already seen so many in recent years ».
So how do you explain that such a detailed reconstruction comes out?
“How do I know if I wasn’t there?”
A “Trojan” is said to have logged everything.
“Oh no, the Milan prosecutor has felt the duty, and I don’t think he does it that often, to intervene with an official note specifying that a Trojan was not used.”
However, the Milanese magistrates’ press release says that “during that meeting, no computer sensors were active.” He does not seem to deny the existence of that encounter.
“I repeat that the voice of someone who was not there could not be recorded because he was quiet at home to treat his ailments.”
Listen Calderoli, you are from Bergamo like the two accountants close to the League who ended up under house arrest. He knows them for sure.
«Of course, and the opinion I have made is that they are excellent professionals and workers. I would like to say that they are decent people.
Of course?
“If we have entrusted them with such delicate tasks, it is because they have proven to be capable and reliable.”
But what is your idea of this investigation, of the round of money that we are talking about and that sheds a sinister light on figures very close to the Salvini leader?
“In these cases, although, as always, there is a lot of fuss, especially if there are elections in the offing, for me the main rule is to let the judiciary work. It takes patience, experience teaches it. But in the end the truth comes out. ”
What is this truth about? Is there really nothing illegal or maybe something got out of hand?
“From what I know and what I have read so far, it seems to me that there is nothing at all. Pass the joke: If the items in the hands of the researchers are as consistent as the dinner I never attended and simply never existed for me, we can sleep soundly. ”
