“Many accusations, zero evidence. Vultures in the corpse that is not there” – Libero Quotidiano

Suppose the prosecution is correct. And that the detained accountants (two of whom with administrative functions on behalf of the Lega in the Chamber and in the Senate) have really inflated the price in the sale of the Cormano warehouse that will go to the Lombardy Film Commission. Suppose that the quartet actually bought the property for 800 thousand euros even though it was worth half, in order to distribute the capital gain and / or drain part of the million public funds obtained by the Region itself to buy the warehouse in question. Let’s imagine that everything is true and that the alleged crimes (embezzlement and disturbances) remain. Even if it were all true, is there anyone who can tell us what the League has to do with all this? What would be the link between Salvini’s party and the sale of the shed? And above all: what is the connection between this matter and the story of the 49 million electoral refunds that disappeared in the air and that the Genoa prosecutor is pursuing, even after the Cassation in 2019 declared the accusations against the former secretary prescribed? ? of the Carroccio Umberto Bossi and his treasurer of the time, Francesco Belsito? The millions (many) that have disappeared are still confiscated and the magistrates have been looking for them everywhere for years, with letters rogatory and without having yet traced a penny. What does the hypothetical drain of money to the Region have to do with the sale of the shed that will go to the Lombardy Film Commission, with the 49 million and with the Lega?

In front of the investigating judge – For clarity and also for the uninitiated, we also explain that Lombardia Film Commission is a company, in fact, a non-profit foundation in which not only the Lombardy Region participates, but also the Milan City Council, the Foundation Cariplo, as well as Unioncamere Lombardia. For what purpose? We quote: “Promote the production of films, television dramas, commercials, documentaries and any other form of audiovisual production in Lombardy to increase the visibility of Lombardy and spread the image of our Region in Italy and in the world.” It is possible that the former president of the foundation, Alberto Di Rubba, one of the accountants detained and attached to the Chamber supported by the treasurer of Salvini’s party, Giulio Centemero (who is not being investigated), had acted and inflated the price of the cheating sale. or escaping the eye of the other affiliates? A mystery that is lost in the intricate folds of the investigation. Yesterday the Milan investigating judge, Giulio Fanales, questioned (in front of the investigating prosecutors) Alberto Di Rubba and Andrea Manzoni, the two accountants close to the League under house arrest since September 10. The other two detainees along with them preferred silence, refusing to appear at the Prosecutor’s Office “due to too much media pressure,” says their defender Massimo Dinoia. No offense, but the payment of commissions related to a real estate operation carried out in the Bergamo area. Di Rubba and Manzoni, this is how they defend themselves. They swear that the sums of money collected after the sale of the well-known property at inflated prices were in fact the regular payment of commissions linked to another real estate operation carried out by Andromeda, in the province of Bergamo. Andromeda is the company attributable to Michele Scillieri (one of the accountants who chose silence and owner of the Milanese firm where the “Lega per Salvini premier” movement was recorded).

“General inquiries – As reconstructed by the prosecutor Stefano Civardi and by the deputy prosecutor Eugenio Fusco, in this intricate investigation, Scillieri would have had a leading role in the operation. Andrómeda took over, at the beginning of 2017, the Cormano de Paloschi warehouse, a company in liquidation managed by Luca Sostegni (the alleged front man in the sale in prison in mid-July in San Vittore for extortion), for 400 thousand euros. And it was also Andromeda, 11 months later, who sold the same property to Lombardia Film Commission at the price of 800 thousand euros. Money that, according to the Milanese magistrates, would have collected the three accountants who would have distributed more than 500 thousand euros between them. While 250 thousand euros would have passed through the accounts of a trust company, Fidirev, to later be transferred to a Swiss account in the name of a Panamanian trust company, where a check for 140 thousand euros was also deposited “drawn into an Immobiliare Andromeda account “, as emerges from the investigation documents. To this tangled story is added another equally confusing suspicion: the “final destination of these sums” hypothesize the prosecutors “could have been used to feed black funds abroad.” However, it is not known how this happened and where the money is. “La Liga is not part of this trend,” explains lawyer Piermaria Corso, defender of Di Rubba and Manzoni. It excludes any connection between the Milanese investigation and that of Genoa on the 49 million and announces the request for revocation of the arrest of the two accountants. Prosecutors say investigating judge Giulio Fanales would have asked the detainees some “generic” questions about the League’s famous missing funds. Meanwhile, in order not to lose anything in so much meat, it is said that reports arrive of suspicious transactions related to businessmen who gravitate in the orbit (not well understood) of the League or of companies attributable to the detained accountants.
