On the same day that Banca Popolare di Vicenza filed the application for admission to listing of its shares on the MTA, a tile hit the Venetian institution. The Vicenza Public Prosecutor's Office is allegedly investigating the crime of conspiracy and false accounting. This was announced by the Ansa agency.
The affair had exploded last September with searches that had involved the bank's offices in Vicenza, but also in Milan, Rome and Palermo.
Initially the charges were of insider trading and obstruction of supervisory bodies. Six people are involved: the former president Gianni Zonin, the former general manager Samuele Sorato, the former vice presidents Emanuele Giustini and Andrea Piazzetta and the two directors Giovanna Dossena and Giuseppe Zigliotto, president of Confindustria Vicenza.
