Lega, appointed treasurer, former auditor convicted of embezzlement – Corriere.it

The official note comes at the end of the federal council of the League convened in Milan in the morning: «During the federal council of the League in Milan, Alberto Di Rubba, former auditor of the party in Parliament, was appointed federal administrator. He picks up the baton from the deputy Giulio Centemero ». A few lines for a heavy and delicate task, entrusted to an accountant from Bergamo who in recent years, as auditor of the lumbards in the Chamber, has been involved in two judicial inquiries, resulting in a heavy sentence (5 years) in the first instance for disturbance of auction and embezzlement. His colleague Andrea Manzoni (4 years and four months) had been convicted with him.

The two accountants had ended up at the center of an investigation into Lombardia Film Commission. The company controlled by the Lombardy Region in 2017 paid 800 thousand euros in advance to purchase a property which at that time was not only worth less than half, but was not usable because it did not have the certificate of viability. An expert report, at the center of the trial, had shown that both the surprising compromise with which the entire sum was paid in advance, and the deed that arrived nine months later, were flawed by the lack of “an essential requirement” which made the complex of Cormano «unsuitable» to become the seat of the Foundation.
