Donation of “moderate value” which, according to the code, requires the public notarial deed and the presence of two witnesses. So the email sent by Dini on 20 May to the then CEO of Aria, Filippo Bongiovanni, was not enough to revoke the supply contract. In addition, the conflict of interest also contributed to the rejection of the conspicuous gift. In any case, that email was sent on May 20, the date following the outbreak of the “lab coats case” and the contract, dating back to April 16, with which the Lombardy Region purchased the coats from Dama.
The prosecutors coordinating the investigation – which also includes Fontana among the suspects for fraud in public supplies, as well as Dini, Bongiovanni (both also accused of disturbed freedom in the choice of the contractor) and an Aria official – on Monday they would have concluded a first round of auditions. Among the people listened to, there was also a supplier of coat fabrics.
Finally, the Prosecutor’s Office also turned on a beacon on the account in Switzerland with deposited 5.3 million of the President of Lombardy, money inherited from the mother and then shielded, from which the bank transfer of 250 thousand euros should have started, then blocked as a suspicious operation by the UIF of the Bank of Italy, by way of compensation to the brother-in-law for the lack of derived profit from the transformation of the supply into a donation.
The soldiers of the Special Unit of Currency Police of the finance guard carried out searches with the Lady. The Fiamme Gialle sought evidence relating to the non-delivery of 25 thousand gowns which occurred after the supply of 75 thousand pieces was transformed, in the declared intentions, into a donation.
