Almost eight hours of non-stop questions and answers. It was a tight interrogation, at times difficult, in which Michele Scillieri began to retrace with the Milanese prosecutors the story of the new headquarters of the Lombardia Film Commission Foundation for which he has been under house arrest for ten days accused of complicity in embezzlement and other crimes. He also spoke of the reports that bind him to Matteo Salvini’s party, while suspicious rounds of money emerge from the investigation that reach men of the Captain’s staff. A long interlocutory interrogation, as one source defines it, which others must necessarily follow. The minutes have been classified. It started at 9.30 yesterday in the offices of the Guardia di Finanza in Milan, and went on until about 17 in the afternoon. On the one hand the prosecutors Stefano Civardi and Eugenio Fusco, on the other Scillieri assisted by the lawyer Massimo Dinoia. The questions concerned the process of the purchase in 2018 for 800 thousand euros by Flc of the Cormano warehouse which was owned by Paloschi srl, a company managed by Luca Sostegni, a figurehead of Scillieri. That money, the prosecutors argue, would have ended up in the pockets of Scillieri and the other two accountants under house arrest like him close to the League, Alberto di Rubba and Andrea Manzoni, the first administrative director of the party in the Senate, the second auditor in the Chamber .

Expenses inconsistent with the declared use
Even Scillieri man by Matteo Salvini: in his Milan studio in 2017 the leader established the headquarters of the League for Salvini Premier by cutting the administrative bridges with Umberto Bossi’s Lega Nord. The accounts of the new entity have also come under observation. A UIF report from the Bank of Italy raises suspicions about the relationships between various companies. Vadolive, an advertising company that belonged to Di Rubba’s sister-in-law, who is a barista, has received many transfers from the Northern League. These funds were used to make payments in favor of some staff members of the then Minister of the Interior Matteo Salvini, Luca Morisi, Leonardo Foa, Matteo Pandini notes the Bank of Italy UIF. There are exits to top up prepaid cards of party collaborators on which, however, there are expenses that are inconsistent with the declared use.

The money passed from the league to Barachetti service
Relations with Salvini’s Carroccio are only one of the topics mentioned in the interrogation. There was also talk of the trust company Fidirev through which Sostegni reclaimed in Switzerland, on an account of Scillieri, 390 thousand euros collected from the sale of the property to Andromeda srl (another company referable to Scillieri) which, in turn, sold it to Lfc for double. An operation costing the money laundering charge to Roberto Tradati, Fidirev manager. Scillieri harbored a strong resentment towards Di Rubba and Manzoni, who participated in the affair. In the end he would have little left. Angry, he lets out on the phone: They don’t have to break me (…) because I know about things (…) and I would like to keep them to myself and take them to my grave. Another theme is the money passed by the League to Barachetti service, who then turns funds to Di Rubba: One and a half million turnover towards the league in a year, Alberto through the League has diverted tons of money (…) not of jobs, money, says Scillieri. Barachetti service, writes the UIF, carries out many transfers in favor of Di Rubba (who also takes care of the company’s accounting) which could constitute a form of “return” of funds received through other channels.
