MILAN. “For the world of Di Rubba I have always selected box 1, in practice I have always covered everything up.” To understand how this investigation into the Lega’s accountants can lead to the “very high plans” of the party, we must take a leap to Seriate, a town in the Bergamo area, seriously affected by Covid 19 and a stronghold of the Northern League. Here, at the Ubi bank branch, former director Marco Ghilardi, later fired, by his own admission for years, has covered a hidden treasure of the Carroccio.
The traces of which are contained in the very detailed dispute – now in the process of the Milanese investigation – that Ubi Bank itself transfers to its former director from the sale of “a used Rolex” for 6000 euros, received by Alessandro Di Rubba. Something, but it is the classic stumbling block that reveals and reveals to Ubi’s audit inspectors and then to Milanese prosecutors, the League’s hidden financial system, made up of electricians, retirees, donations and donations that in Ubi consider “Very high risk “. Managed by its administrative secretary Centemero (who also receives two bank transfers of 62 thousand euros and 6 thousand euros from the account) which, as is known, responds to the secretary Matteo Salvini.
Because, as Ghilardi always says in a July 24 report, “the income comes from the Radio Padania and Baracchetti service, while the outputs are destined to Di Rubba, Manzoni, Centemero and the Dea Consulting studio”. That is the former firm of the two now-detained Lega accountants, based in Bergamo. Ubi inspectors write: “The handling (to Dea Consulting, ed) shows clear anomaly rates that should have led to the reporting of suspicious activity.”
It begins with a credit of 357 thousand euros in favor of “Taaac srl”, based in the office of Michele Scillieri, a company controlled by the “Di Rubba world”, a world, as you will see that everything revolves around the Carroccio. “It is clear – write the inspectors – that the amount of the amounts and the reasons used … do not find justification … And their behavior is even more serious if you consider that when completing the customer card in the Anti-Money Laundering portal Capitals, has indicated that the movement of the current account was “regular” … “
For example, the cashier’s checks issued in March 2018 by the “Taaac” for 330 thousand euros in favor of this Giancarlo Signoretto, a seventy-three-year-old retiree, former sole shareholder and director of the company “Elite srl” (real estate in bankruptcy in 2017), or 60 thousand euros filmed in “Cafin spa”, a company active in the publishing world due to a strange withdrawal from the sale of which, however, there is no trace. On the other hand, the Ubi inspectors point out, the turnover of the Dea Consulting account is around one million euros a year between 2016 and 2017, well above “the company’s turnover in the same two-year period.” In particular, “with respect to the movement previously reported, it is observed that in the period of analysis (2015-2018) Studio Dea’s current account received credits fromthe political Lega Nord, Lega per Salvini Premier and by parties linked to the party, for about 700 thousand euros, with reasons that refer to the payment of bills… ». 85 transfers follow, all from the party.
“Only in 2018, amounts of 239,940 euros were paid”; about 80 thousand in two transfers from Lega to Salvini Premier and 57 thousand. 366 euros from Pontida Fin srl (held by Lega Nord for the independence of Padania and 0.1 percent from Umberto Bossi). Not bad for a company made up of two accountants who serve the administration of the League in the Senate and in the Chamber and who in November 2017 “were attributed a high risk of money laundering.” In addition, the inspectors add, other transfers were paid to the report for an additional amount of 700 thousand euros “from associated companies of the same group and / or with a third company with cross handling.”
Areapergolesi srl, a company run by Andrea Manzoni, now under house arrest, at the same office in via Maj in Bergamo, where the notorious “electrician” from Barachetti Service is also domiciled. The operations follow one another like a whirlwind, they finance Radio Padania and other Carroccio structures, up to the account opened to support the 800 thousand euros of the Film Commission, and none of these, according to Ubi inspectors, should be considered regular. The same note that both Di Rubba and Manzoni were wanted for the history of the 49 million missing from the League. An event for which, during the week, the magistrates of Genoa will come to Milan.
In fact, in just a few years the Salvini League has covered the two accountants with gold and his colleague Scillieri, who designed the Lombardia Film operation, has taken their money to tax havens abroad, according to a very as old as proven. The evidence in the hands of the prosecutor is considered so solid, for the crimes of embezzlement and alteration of freedom in the choice of the contractor, that they are considering requesting an immediate trial for the three accountants. But really “on the higher floors” nobody knew anything?
