Alessandro Profumo, president of Banca Mps does not believe that bribes were paid in the purchase of Banca Antonveneta by Mps. 'I think not' said the banker in response to a question during the broadcast 'Otto e Mezzo' on 'La7' and added: 'The judiciary is investigating; if this were to be the case, we would restore the balance sheet of Monte dei Paschi because we would ask for the money back'.
Profumo then added that the renewal of Mussari's mandate at the ABI in July, although it was already under investigation, 'in hindsight it was a mistake and mistakes are made'. When asked for an opinion on Mussari, he replies: 'I don't have a positive opinion on Mussari'.
