“It never existed, those days I was at home with a broken fibula” – Libero Quotidiano

“That dinner never existed.” Roberto Calderoli, appointment book in hand (in fact, in the head), dismantle one of the “rehearsal queens“which, according to press rumors, the prosecutors would have in hand to prove the involvement of the leaders of the League (Matteo salvini in the head) in the suspicious money round he was in charge of counters ended up under arrest for the “crest” of the sale of the cormano shed where was it based there Lombardy Film Commission. An apparently local investigation that is gaining national relevance at the media level. And the attempt seems open enough: to drag the secretary of the Northern League into a judicial scandal a week after the regional vote.

“The last time I sat at the table with Salvini was at least two years ago,” he assures the Corriere della Sera Calderoli, who according to prosecutors would have seen on the table, on an evening between May 24 and 27 in Rome, the former minister, his colleague the senator from Brescia Stefano Borghesi and the accountant Andrea Manzoni, auditor of the Northern League group of the Chamber and trusted professional of the leader of the Northern League. Also, Calderoli points out, “I have never had a pizza with the other two.” In any case, that night Calderoli could not be in the restaurant in any way: “Unfortunately, there is one personal misfortune to remind me. In fact, in May I broke fibula and ligament. I moved with great effort, helping myself with crutches. And much less if you could go out to dinner in those conditions. Apart from the fact that I am not in the habit of eating lunch out of the house. I do not really like “. Regarding the accountants involved in the investigation, all party auditors, Calderoli has his own opinion: “They are excellent professionals and workers. I would like to say that they are decent people. If we have entrusted them with such delicate tasks, it is because they have proven to be capable and reliable. If the elements in the hands of the researchers are as consistent as the dinner that I never attended and that for me simply never existed, we can sleep soundly ”.
