Three accountants near League and involved in the Milanese investigation on the matter Lombardy Film Commission and the purchase and sale of a property in Cormano in the Milan area are under house arrest.
The custody order also covers Fabio Giuseppe Barbarossa, Scillieri’s brother-in-law.
To the three professionals, Michele Scillieri (in whose office the “Lega per Salvini premier” was domiciled in 2017), Alberto Di Rubba me Andrea Manzoni (former auditors of the League’s parliamentary groups), along with Barbarroja, the crimes of embezzlement, alteration of freedom in the contractor’s election procedure and fraudulent tax evasion were contested in various ways.
In July, Luca Sostegni, a front man in the sale of the Lombardy Film Commission headquarters, was arrested.
For years, according to the Milanese prosecutors Stefano Civardi and Eugenio Fusco, Sostegni was Scillieri’s “straw head”; In July 2016, he became the liquidator of Paloschi, which 7 months later sold the Cormano warehouse to Andromeda managed by Fabio Barbarroja, Scillieri’s brother-in-law, for 400 thousand euros never paid, which in turn sold it to the Lfc Foundation in December of 2017 for 800 thousand euros, funded by the Region. Money raised largely by Scillieri and his two colleagues, Andrea Manzoni and Alberto Di Rubba, who at the time was president of the Lombardia Film Commission at the time of the appointment of the board chaired by Roberto Maroni. By selling at twice the purchase price, according to the researchers, Andromeda makes a large capital gain that is “incompatible” with “market values” and is “an unreasonable and disproportionate profit.”
According to the magistrates, putting the 800,000 euros paid by the Region in the pockets of the three accountants close to the League was “the only intention pursued” with the purchase of the Lombardy Film Commission headquarters. The operation was “the legal screen” to cover up the “possession” of public funds, according to the Milan investigating judge Giulio Fanales.
Of the 800 thousand euros allocated by the Region, according to the Finance Department, Di Rubba and Manzoni (both were auditors of the League) charge about 420 thousand euros, another 134 thousand go to Andromeda, then to Scillieri, 202 thousand to Barachetti Service , a company that gravitates in the world of Lega and has done the restructuring, the rest is exhausted in miscellaneous expenses.
In 2018, the Bergamo offices of Manzoni and Di Rubba were registered by the Genoa Prosecutor’s Office in the investigation into 49 million in League funding.
League sources reported that the party trusts that the investigation is destined “to end in nothing, like so many others who were looking for money in Russia, Switzerland or in the world.”
