Put one evening at dinner…On the Stadio della Roma the last supper that was eaten, just on the eve of scandal that exploded with the 9 arrests of the Roman prosecutor's office, was the one between Davide Casaleggio (son of Gianroberto, the founder of the 5 Star Movement with Beppe Grillo) and the president of Acea Luke Lanzalone, who resigned from his post today, just a few hours before his arrest. The reason for the meeting between the strategist of the Rousseau platform and the lawyer who followed, as a consultant to the M5S, the story of the Tor di Valle Stadium would have been the match on the appointments in public companies, by the Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (to be renewed within the end of the month) to Rai.
The dinner is one of the many pieces that emerged from the investigation launched by the judge for preliminary investigations Maria Paola Tomaselli and the deputy prosecutor Paolo Ielo, an investigation that revealed what the magistrates have defined as the "system" of corruption, attributable to the builder Luca Parnasi which now puts not only the Five Stars in trouble but also the League. The case of the Democratic Party is different because if it is true that the former regional councilor Dem Michele Civita also ended up under arrest (house arrest, like Lanzalone), it is equally true that the hero of the day is the councilor for urban planning of Milan Pierfrancesco Maran , also Pd, who to the offer of an apartment to coax him, arrived by the Roman builder, simply replied no, "it's not used in Milan" Parnasi himself reported in the wiretaps. And today, to those who praised him for this honest behavior, he responded by thanking but also by noting on Facebook: "I want to say that this is and must be the norm".
The Roman investigation therefore reverses the roles: from the grillina honesty irreparably stained to the revenge of Pd pride, passing through the tears of Virginia Raggi who, faced with the news arriving from the Palace of Justice, summons her collaborators and lets herself go to a fit of crying mixed with anger. "It's not my fault, I didn't choose him" says the mayor referring to Lanzalone, as reported today by La Repubblica. “They forced it on me” she would later add, quoting Alfonso Bonafede, who has now become Minister of Justice, together with Riccardo Fraccaro, current Minister for Relations with Parliament. Both so close to Deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio as to be nicknamed "the Dioscuri" and to have been assisted as a "tutor" in the difficult days of Raffaele Marra's arrest for corruption. Thursday morning, having read the newspapers, the mayor of Rome launched a counterattack: “The judges say I have nothing to do with it and there isn't a newspaper that has had the courage to report this news. The common, the Romans and Roma Calcio are the injured party”. And announces lawsuits.
The Roman events are also intertwined with the League which, as an investigation by l'Espresso reconstructed, would have received 250.000 euros with two payments to the "Più voci" association, considered close to the Northern League's orbit. In the wiretaps supporting the investigation into the Stadio della Roma, Parnasi explains that “this is an association that has valued not only the Lega but has valued Stefano Parisi throughout the centre-right let's say…. in Milan and it was also a vehicle with which I gained credit in an important way no… I organized dinners, I brought entrepreneurs, I did what, you teach me, a 38-year-old boy at the time had to do to grow up in Milan ..”.
Parnasi's "system" also extended to funding (25.000 euros) for the electoral campaign of Adrian Palozzi, then elected with Forza Italia and today vice president of the Lazio regional council. But also to other corrupt politicians and officials with money, consultancy, hiring and salaries of various kinds that it will now be up to the judiciary to clarify and demonstrate in all their breadth.
