The time Zelig was listed on Wall Street (and it was immediately crashed)

Where were we? Ah, to 1993, the year in which we spilled the beans before the magistrate. Filled with thousands of sheets of minutes. The investigation, which has reached the present day, has made it possible to issue arrest warrants for fugitive and elderly subjects. Who rightly are in the Marshall Islands to enjoy the fruit of the honest work done over 35 years.

After the revelations about the Zelig Cabaret, Dia put me under protection. Qualification “first repentant in the history of cabaret” with the right to access the witness protection program. Soon after, other repentants came out, who integrated my statements. (Also very beautiful and complete). Some were true repentants, others false repentants to numb the already muddy waters (but not so much). Today I am at the Residence in Pieve Emanuele (Milan) with another pentito, Gianni Fantoni. We are registered for the police station as traveling salesmen. New documents and identities. Antonio Lunonetti and Antonio Digeroni (the undersigned). We continue (kindly) with the spontaneous declarations on the same subject.

The first years of the restaurant in viale Monza 140 were borderline. In the evenings, he was jerking on stage. During the day, some comedians carried the loot they had just stolen to their relatives’ homes. Stand-up comedians (1980s) weren’t stupid, so they didn’t steal from strangers’ houses. They visited grandmothers, elderly aunts, etc. After this passage, the relatives realized that precious objects were missing from the house. But they didn’t denounce the nephew. We knew this. The stolen goods were taken to the Zelig. At the bottom of the staircase (the toilet area) there was a small door, behind which were stowed televisions, watches, rings, diamonds (one), etc. Stolen. Little was paid to us. For example, I took an ancient clock stolen from the Risorgimento museum in Milan (at the time the keeper was my uncle, who was fired for this shortage). I was paid 25,000 lire. Then I learned that Gino and Michele sold the clock to the curator of Alessandro Manzoni’s house for 15 million lire. Visitors see it among the furnishings and think it was by Manzoni. But no. My uncle told me he was from Cavour. She had already been screwed several times. Every time the caretaker was fired. It was the most coveted object in the Risorgimento museum in Milan. Perhaps also because it was easy to load it into a van, which you put under the window on the ground floor, where the famous relic was located. In practice, sorry to say, the first stand-up comedians were thieves. Some are unsuccessful even today despite being close to 70 years old.

Being a pimp after all these years feels good. Being thieves, they had no qualms about stealing from colleagues. In Zelig there was a single large room that served as a dressing room and digester. I was sorry when both the doves and the rabbit cheated at Mago Forest. She couldn’t make the show. He was kindly removed from the club as an unwanted person. The animals were sold to the Lambro park. The buyer blackmailed Mr. Forest with a landline call in the squalid boarding house where he was staying: “If you want your cattle back, come to the Porta Vittoria station with 350,000 lire”. Forest said, “Yeah, see you there.” Then he didn’t go. He offended me that I had started negotiating between the two contenders. For some time Mr. Forest did his magic tricks with dogs taken from who knows where. I think stolen from some circus. In short, Zelig until it became a respectable holding company was a den of bandits. There was also a shooting over a women’s issue. The press was kept in the dark. Being the place with a communist address… The victims were transferred to a farmhouse in the countryside, a fake settlement of accounts between Arabs was staged. Even if the people identified were from Lombardy, some evenings the old Zelig’s audience was locked up, or rather kidnapped in the club. They couldn’t get out before giving the car keys. How many cars were stolen in Viale Monza in that period, all taken to a garage in Viale delle Forze Armate. Here a relative of Gianni Fantoni disassembled them. The pieces ready for the northern warehouses.

Long story short the cabaret was just a cover. To hold among other things kidnapped hostages. And we come to the epilogue of this filthy affair. Zelig and the associated Holding company land on Wall Street listed on the stock exchange. Not even in Milan or Paris. No! In America. On the day of the debut, Gino and Michele rang the freshman bell. The Moleskine Gut editore share starts at 9. Trading opens, priced at $35. After an hour it was already at 0.003 cents. The director of the room decides to suspend the title due to excess reduction (at least until the following day). Departure of the second day: the share collapses definitively after a few minutes, so much so that we have to issue an official statement from the Wall Street Board: “Friend investors, sorry if we accepted a company that we thought had solid foundations, but instead they presented us with fake financial statements. In 150 years of the New York Stock Exchange we have seen all the colors but this one makes us doubt the system of capitalism”. Some savers (such as the Montana teachers’ pension fund) have lost everything by investing in Gino and Michele’s stock. It is the biggest crack ever on Wall Street. 150 billion dollars burned in one day. At this point long live cryptocurrencies, risk less and best regards to the next crack. Meanwhile the long paw of those Communists of Rossi, Gino, Michele and Giancarlo Bozzo targeted a social center in the Barona. Where the good Gianluca de Angelis (non-communist) Deborah Villa (social democrat) and other very good comedians who we see today in various broadcasters began to do cabaret Eg. Fabrizio Fontana in strip…

They immediately made him sign halter contracts with their Holding based in Barbados (tax haven). The name of this company that organizes cabaret evenings? Bananas srl Shareholders the names mentioned above. But let’s face it again: Gino Vignali, Carlo Barcellesi, Paolo Rossi, Gianni Fantoni, Michele Mozza, Enrico Bertolino, later liquidated as he threatened to go to the financial police barracks (in via Finzi 3) to tell everything. Here is the text of the phone call I made to Bertolino (intercepted knowing I was).

“Hello Enrique”. “Hello, are you okay?” “Very good! I brought you up too about the Zelig crack, you’ll be called to the prosecutor’s office. But I’m sure you’ll clarify everything.” “You did well to sing!”. “Yes, so we mix reasoning that is not connected to each other”. “Where are you?”. “I am with Fantoni in a secret location; they told me not to reveal it, but I do; Ripamonti Residence… under the false name Digeroni Antoine”. “Thank you! Now I’m sending two killers to carry out the execution, it will turn out that Fantoni shot you…”. “Very good! Henry? Why don’t you repent too?”. “But I already collaborate with Interpol…”. “We instead with the secret services, they could exchange information”. “No! they are jealous and they do well you don’t know who to trust”. “In fact, hello! I think I’ll bring Giacobazzi and Sergio Sgrilli into play as well as you…”. “Have you already mentioned names or minutes?”. “Yes! and also Bove and Limardi who have already been summoned, Limardi was warned by the magistrate to say everything…”. “He was reticent?”. “No! In fact, 95 percent of it was all made up as a true repentant should do”. “HI! See you at the evening for Zelig’s 40th birthday”. “Yes! I’m leaving now, see you there.”
