While Alberto Di Rubba declares (after his colleague Andrea Manzoni does as well) that not a penny from the sale of the Lombardy film commission office went to the Lega, much less him, the reports of some officials concerned about the Carroccio related the movements that were carried out on its benches.
Suspicious transactions
The task of transmitting the “Suspicious Transaction Reports” to the Judiciary corresponds to the FIU of the Bank of Italy, which receives them from the credit institutions. To those who are already in the investigation that led to the house arrest of the three accountants close to Matteo Salvini’s League, now we add others. The Milan Financial Police handed them over to prosecutors Eugenio Fusco and Stefano Civardi yesterday along with those signed by executives who were very agitated by the evolution of the investigations, especially after his colleague Angelo Ghilardi was fired by Ubi Banca for not having reported the operations carried out at the Seriate (Bergamo) branch by Di Rubba and Manzoni for being linked to a political party, as required by banking regulations.
The new complaints
The directors denounce money transfers between the League and some businessmen. They may be completely legitimate, but fear has played a big role in pushing them to come forward. There is already a company about which suspicions increase. It is the service of Barachetti de Casnigo (Bergamo). The owner, Francesco Barachetti, is under investigation for involvement in embezzlement. The company, which has raised more than two million euros from Carroccio in recent years, has drawn the attention of prosecutors for the renovation of the Cormano di Lombardia film commission headquarters, which cost around 300,000 euros. Prosecutors want to understand whether behind what appears to be regular bill payments there are no setbacks to the party. Ghilardi said that the money that entered the checking accounts linked to companies referred to Di Rubba, the Carroccio’s administrative director in the Senate, and to Manzoni, the Chamber’s auditor, in “a few days would flow in favor of companies or related persons.” They are operations without valid economic reasons that, beyond the amounts, I have not seen in my entire career ”. All this raised suspicions of an “intention to transfer the money” to launder it that was not denounced by Ghilardi, such as his old relationship with the two accountants for whom he also worked. In the minutes, the now former banker also speaks generically of “money rounds through Più Voices”, the association of Giulio Centemero, treasurer of the Carroccio.
“For friendship”
“The bank did not lose a penny, I did not get a penny, I did it only out of friendship and in good faith,” he unleashes in a phone call intercepted on May 21 by the Gdf while he was speaking with Di Rubba. The news about the Lombardia Film Commission headquarters is in the press and Ubi Banca has just notified you of a very tough disciplinary litigation. He is beside himself and awaits the help of his friend, who will not have: «Where am I going at 50? (…) who hires me (…) then I will have to count on you or someone from there again. “The problem agitates Di Rubba when he goes to Rome for one with Salvini.
“La Liga has nothing to do with it”
During the guarantee interrogations before the investigating judge Giulio Fanales, the references to the League are minimal. “The judge decided to base the questions on the facts object of the objections,” explained Di Rubba and Manzoni’s lawyer, Professor Piermaria Corso. Clearly, prosecutors are exploring new avenues of investigation that are currently unregistered. According to the lawyer, his clients have “offered a version of events that leads to the exclusion” of the allegations. They specified, among other things, that the Swiss Gleason account that refers to Michele Scillieri, the third accountant close to Matteo Salvini arrested, “has no relationship with the League” and that “the money came in various capacities to their accounts did not come from Lombardia Film Commission. ”The prosecution says that things are not like that: his company Tacca would have received from Andromeda, the seller of the warehouse of which Scillieri was de facto administrator, half of the 800 thousand euros paid by Flc. The defense responds that the steps between Andromeda and the two accountants are linked “to professional relationships.” Manzoni repeated before the investigating judge what he said when in July he spontaneously presented himself to prosecutors after the arrest of Luca Sostegni, Scillieri’s front man in the operation The prosecutor denies that, in the different rounds of money, 178 thousand euros pass from Andromeda to Sdc, the company owned by the two accountants. “They have nothing to do with the sale of the galp on ”, declared Manzoni, they refer to“ the sale of land in Alta Val Seriana ”. The field then ends in Scillieri who in an interception says that he was forced to hand it over to Barachetti because there was no more money to finish paying for the renovation, while with his money the companions made a villa each. on Lake Garda.
