They are a whatsapp message of 9 am on May 20, and a 2 hour advance, to found the belief of the prosecutors of «A preordained» contractual breach «due to an agreement behind it» between the Lombardy Region and the entrepreneur from Varese Andrea Dini (brother of the wife of the president of the regional council Attilio Fontana), who on 16 April had been the direct custodian with his “Dama spa” of a contract worth 513,000 euros for the supply of 75,000 lab coats and 7,000 sanitary sets at the “Aria spa” regional purchasing center directed by Filippo Bongiovanni.

The “supply” changes on May 20
The belief is that his sudden transformation of the “supply” on 20 May into a “donation” – however limited to the 49,000 gowns and 7,000 sanitary sets hitherto already supplied, and without further delivery to the Region of the remaining 25,000 gowns, although initially agreed from the contract – it was not a generous choice (though perhaps hurried after Fontana’s request on May 17 to postpone payments to avoid controversy over conflicts of interest), but a trick planned on the basis of “a reassurance obtained for the through an agreement established elsewhere “. Until now, in fact, it was believed that the hypothesis of a crime of “fraud in public supplies” (contested by the three) valued the fact that, after the donation, Dini had tried to resell the 25,000 gowns in order to partially re-enter the lost profit to which he had renounced with the email of 11.07 on 20 May to «Aria spa»: «As anticipated for the short routes, this is to communicate that we have decided to transform the supply contract into a donation. We are sure that you will appreciate our decision, we inform you that we consider our supply concluded ».

But now there is a whatsapp by Dini in the hands of the prosecutors («Hi, we have received a good batch of fabric for gowns. We sell them for 9 euros, and then every 1000 sold I can donate 100») in which at 8.58 on that May 20, two hours before making the offer for the first time to the Region to transform the supply into a partial donation and contextual reduction of the remaining supply, Dini already “offered for sale” to the commercial interlocutor ER ” the gowns not delivered to Aria spa, as proof of a reassurance obtained through an agreement that was divided aliunde “.

The seizure of the 25 thousand gowns
The jurisprudence is horrible, but it means that if Dini tried to sell the 25,000 gowns two hours before proposing the donation to the Region, and therefore all the more without even knowing if the Region would then accept it (which formally did not it will never happen), it was because Dini was already sure, by underlying agreements with someone in the Region, that he could count on the fact that the Region no longer demanded the remaining 25,000 gowns. Obviously the whatsapp would have this value only if they were actually offered by those overalls of the regional supply, and not others: listened to as witnesses, on June 18 the woman reinforced this interpretation of the prosecutors, adding that instead in April Dini had told her “of having to sell to the Region “under an” exclusive contract “. The probative seizure in «Dama spa» of the 25,000 «crime body» gowns (precisely those of the regional lot) does not worry Dini’s lawyer, Giuseppe Iannaccone, on the contrary “happy that the prosecutors have made these checks” because “they show that the coats have always been in stock and there has never been any resale. I trust that these investigations will speed up the investigation and clarify what I know very well, and that is that Dini is a mirror person ».

The bank transfer failed
On the attempt by Fontana to “compensate” his brother-in-law on May 19 with a bank transfer of 250,000 euros, the newsletter Tomorrow frames the technique of the operation “reported suspect” by Unione Fiduciaria and blocked: from the Swiss UBS account “on behalf of the Italian fiduciary” to “an omnibus account in the name of the trustee at Banca Popolare di Sondrio”, and from there to the company of Dini. Without ever appearing in “a transfer formally arranged by a trust company (but actually by Fontana) through a domestic operation (but actually coming from a foreign account)”.
