Money. But also holidays, plane tickets, hiring. In summary: contracts in exchange for benefits of various kinds. Yet another case of alleged corruption involves the world of TV: Rai, Mediaset, La7 and Infront, David Biancifiori's company that provides support services to TV productions, were visited this morning by the Guardia di Finanza at the request of the Rome Public Prosecutor's Office.
60 searches are allegedly underway with 44 managers under investigation.
The magistrates would have in hand significant elements demonstrating the fact that Infront obtained the contracts by reciprocating with donations of various kinds. The funds for this activity would have been made through over-invoicing of the works performed. Rai officials and executives, as public officials, are under investigation for complicity in corruption, while those of the Mediaset, La7 and Infront companies are under investigation for embezzlement.
