NAPLES, ITALY – SEPTEMBER 11: Matteo Salvini, leader of the Lega party, speaks during an election rally in support of Stefano Caldoro, candidate for governor of the Campania region on September 11, 2020 in Naples, Italy. On September 20 and 21, more than 51,000,000 voters will go to the polls for the constitutional referendum without a quorum, with which Italians must choose whether to confirm the cut in the number of parliamentarians. Administrative elections are scheduled on the same days in 942 municipalities and in seven regions, six of which with ordinary status: Campania, Liguria, Marche, Puglia, Tuscany and Veneto and 1 with special status: Aosta Valley, where the regional councils it will be renewed and governors will be elected.

A dinner at the end of May casts shadows on Matteo Salvini. In fact, the League leader met Andrea Manzoni, one of the North League accountants who ended up under house arrest two days ago. At the table are also other important names of the party: Senator Roberto Calderoli, also from Bergamo, and Stefano Borghesi, an accountant like Manzoni.

The fact is recorded in the investigation papers on the sale to the Lombardy region for 800 thousand euros by three accountants close to the League of an industrial warehouse at prices that are out of the market. An operation that for the prosecution would have “two criminal objectives”: defraud the tax authorities and pocket public money. The three accountants, along with a fourth man, were under house arrest two days ago. The judges are investigating where the money from the “shield” has gone: in the pockets of the three or was it poured into some account of the League to finance the electoral campaign?

Going back to dinner, investigators currently don’t know what was discussed that night. But as Repubblica writes:

In an annotation to the process of the investigation for the sale of the property in Cormano, the investigators registered the concern among the suspects in the previous days.
