Assault on the League continues: new suspects



[ad_1]

Milan There are a large number of new suspects in the investigation of the Milan Prosecutor’s Office on the financial flows that go through the League. To those of the three accountants who ended up under house arrest and the financial intermediary Roberto Tradati, a series of names have been added that confirm the direction the investigation took: now the matter of the Lombardia Film Commission, the regional body that bought the Lega Nord accountants. A warehouse in Cormano is just the starting detail, the opening used by the Prosecutor’s Office to enter and dig 360 degrees on the accounting of Matteo Salvini’s party. The Guardia di Finanza has a precise mandate: leave nothing unexplored, hunt down all operations, even vaguely suspicious.

The new names also confirm this strategy: among those investigated is, for example, Vanessa Servalli, partner of the cousin of one of the detainees, who is the administrator of the company that pays for the services of the so-called “Beast”, or the propaganda machine of the Northern League. . It is the Servalli company that pays Luca Morisi, Matteo Foa and the others responsible for the social networks in the area. And in the same way, other collaborators of the via Bellerio staff are being targeted, all considered close to Matteo Salvini. If the investigative strategy is clear, the criminal hypotheses that are gradually taking shape are less clear. Because if, on the one hand, the tortuosity of some money transfers is objective, the origin and final destination of the money does not seem – not even in the reconstruction of the Prosecutor’s Office – to present particular anomalies. The incoming cash flows come from subscriptions of natural and legal persons and from 2 per thousand, and are used for institutional purposes of the League. The magnitude of some spending items seems frankly excessive, and the frequent repetition of the same names among beneficiaries is unique: and therefore, within the League, recent press disclosures have created strong discontent, as it has been found that in the future, those who were privileged as party providers were those loyal to the national secretary. And to rekindle the rumors there is the suspicion that among those admitted to the business someone brought home something more than just.

Formally, the League is comforted by the fact that the budgets of the years in which the Milan Prosecutor is digging have already passed the scrutiny of the Party’s Budget and Transparency Commission, the independent body appointed by the presidents of the two Chambers and composed solely of accounting magistrates. . But this certification is not enough for Salvini and his people to sleep soundly. Because the siege is such that sooner or later some of the suspects might be tempted to become witnesses for the prosecution. The other day Michele Scillieri, one of the three accountants under house arrest, was heard for a long time by the prosecutors: but his questioning was not secret. So the bombs, at least in the short term, shouldn’t go off.
