The Spoleto prosecutor's office has asked for the investigation against the governor of the Bank of Italy to be closed, Ignazio Visco, and seven other people for the events of Bps, Banca Popolare di Spoleto. The request, sent today to the investigating judge, concerns, in addition to Visco, the commissioners appointed by the Bank of Italy Giovanni Boccolini, Gianluca Brancadoro and Nicola Stabile, the members of the supervisory committee Silvano Corbella, Giovanni Domenichini and Giuliana Scognamiglio and the president of Bps Stephen Lado.
The investigation had been opened on the basis of a complaint presented to the Prosecutor of Spoleto by a hundred members of Aspocredit, an association that brings together around 400 members of Spoleto credit and services, the parent company of Banca Popolare di Spoleto before it was purchased by Banco Desio. Corruption, abuse of office and fraud are the hypothesized crimes for which the prosecution led by Alessandro Cannevale has requested the filing.
