the kickbacks scandal
Milan , February 18, 2016 – 18:44
Roberto Maroni still hopes in the possibility that the ” friend ‘Fabio Rizzi, the regional director League arrested Tuesday as part an investigation for bribery in the Lombardy health system, could prove his innocence. But it is an eventuality that the governor judges now remote. “I’ve read the documents, and I think there are any hard evidence. There are politicized magistrates, in this case I think I can say that they have done their job very well, “he told” Virus “on RAI-2. For this, it is ready to put on the door of Pirellone his man of confidence, President of the Health Committee and “dad” of health care reform, and already “taken out” from the party by the leader of the Northern League Matteo Salvini. “Or proves his innocence or has to go,” assures Maroni. Because “those who make a mistake so serious can not do politics. Let alone represent the people in the institutions. ”
in the recording of Porta a Porta on RAI 1, the former minister is even more clear: “Absolutely not I resign. I asked myself if I have any responsibility, but do not have it: I was betrayed by someone I trusted. And whoever errs, he was my best friend, I take him kicked and has to go. ” “I did not suspect anything Rizzi – says the governor – I trusted him and I gave him carte blanche: it was one of the ten people that I trust. I can only hope you can prove that it was not, although reading the documents is difficult. ” In defense of Maroni also terraced Matteo Salvini, which excludes the resignation of a number of Palazzo Lombardia. The “Captain” of the Northern League then marks the distance between the League and the Democrats: “We do not claim any moral superiority but when someone makes a mistake must pay and the League, where there is the certainty of error, intervenes before the courts. ‘ In short, “the Democratic Party pamper them, candida them, the League chasing them,” sums up.

The interrogations
Rizzi – who was called by some of those arrested “pig farmer” or “chicken farmer” – was heard, Thursday, by the investigating magistrate of the Court of Monza, Rosaria Shepherd. His lawyer, Monica Alberti, at the end of more than two hours of interrogation warranty, describes him as “conscious of being politically finished.” “He clarified his position by making a lengthy statement and then answering some questions of the judge – explains the lawyer -. We did not talk of the party, even though he is aware of being finished politically. It is rational, tired and asked the partner and relatives. ” Even Mario Longo, “associate” of Rizzi, and Maria Paola Canegrati, the entrepreneur to the investigation center, were heard. “I want to clearly point by point”, the woman’s intentions at the head of a galaxy of companies that in the past 15 years there has been won almost all the races hospital for dental care. When asked for letters rogatory in the San Vittore prison in Milan before the investigating judge Luigi Gargiulo made a spontaneous declaration and, through his lawyer, the lawyer Leonardo Salvemini, requested house arrest. also prepared an extensive memory with data and documents attached “with which we will try to clarify – trusts her lawyer, the lawyer Leonardo Salvemini – so the innocence of my client is established by the judiciary. The picture is very complex. On our part there is full cooperation and the utmost confidence in the authority judicial. “
the meeting with State
Meanwhile in Rome, Maroni tries to seek help from Raffaele Cantone to set up a system of controls that can prevent new scandals. “We talked about the recent events and what we intend to do, ie take a series of initiatives – says the governor League exit by the Anti-Corruption Authority offices – to make all the checks necessary to understand how to avoid it happening again what happened: I want full transparency in procurement. We also talked about the possibility of a cooperation with the Authority on the budget plan. There are issues to be explored, but there is the availability and I’m very interested, obviously, in a strong partnership, because I have no other interest than to ensure maximum transparency in procurement. There are ideas that we shared but deserve further investigation. “
Distrust
The opposition at the Pirelli undeterred, however, the attempt to impeach the number one in the region. They filed the no-confidence motion in Maroni announced recently by the Democratic Party and the Civic Pact, to which were added the Five Star. “The text of the motion – reads a note – insists on the betrayal of the Presidency Maroni promised to interrupt the chain of scandals that led to the traumatic end of the last Parliament. This time, moreover, the institution’s betrayal took place at the hands of a total trust of Maroni man, deputy secretary of the Lombard League, drafter of the health reform material. ” Within twenty days of the motion to be discussed from the classroom.
