The “practice” has already reached the table of the political leader Vito Crimi. The MEP Dino giarrusso, former journalist of Hyenas, runs the risk of a heavy sanction that could go as far as the expulsion of the 5 Star Movement for having collected contributions from lobbyists during the 2019 election campaign.
Money
The case, relaunched yesterday by ReportThese are three loans for a total amount of 14,700 euros. One (5 thousand euros) comes from Carmela vitter, wife of Piero Di Lorenzo, president of Irbm de Pomezia, the company that deals with biotechnology and that also collaborates with the University of Oxford for the creation of a vaccine against Covid. A company that, with a tweet on March 13, praises Giarrusso as “great Italian excellence.”
Another economic support, of 4,800 euros, comes from Ezia Ferrucci, partner of Bdl lobbying srl, who sees Piero Di Lorenzo himself among the founders, and who sees among his clients as written by Fanpage.it in a service last year – some giants like the Hera group, a Bolognese multiservice that is a leader in the waste sector and in water and energy services, the British American Tobacco and Bracco, a company that operates in the sector of the health (diagnostic imaging).
Almost five thousand euros (4,900) were donated to Giarrusso by the Promedica Srl from San Giovanni La Punta.

M5S: the States General are over, now what happens?
All contributions that exceed the minimum threshold of three thousand euros set by the 5 Star Movement and that above all violate a founding principle of the M5S, which prohibits candidates from receiving resources from lobbyists.
Self defense
Giarrusso, a member of the Agriculture Committee of the European Parliament, responds: “Donations of more than three thousand euros prohibited by the 5S formulary? I had missed them.” In addition, he defends himself in a video talking about the financing that Ferrucci received. He says he did not know the lady and adds: “I asked and learned that your company had already supported the 5S electoral committee in the 2018 policies.” Giarrusso also shows the receipt of that payment, but this does not convince the big players of the 5Stelle, since one thing is a contribution given to the entire Movement and another is a loan, in addition to a higher amount, to a single member. Discontent and friendly fire on Giarrusso. Ignazio Corrao, a group colleague in Brussels, shoots zero: “No one in the M5S has been personally financed by lobbyists. If someone did, they would be expelled immediately.”

Certainly, the case has been reported to the arbitration board and Crimi is dealing directly with it. Paolo becchi, a former ideologist of the Movement, prophesies on Twitter: “Today Giarrusso will be expelled.” But he adds a comment that seems to be defending the MEP: “This will happen because he got more votes in the States General than Di Maio.” Statement circulating other poisons. The 5Stelle are shaken by another controversy.
