The Milan Public Prosecutor’s Office has called for Daniela Santanchè to stand trial on charges of bankruptcy and fraud linked to corporate insolvencies
The FdI senator and 14 other people are accused of serious financial offences in connection with the collapse of four companies, with the investigations having concluded in July.
The Milan Public Prosecutor’s Office has requested that FdI Senator and former Minister for Tourism Daniela Santanchè, along with 14 other individuals and one company, be committed for trial on charges of fraudulent bankruptcy, false accounting and aggravated fraud against the State in connection with the bankruptcies of the companies Ki Group, Ki Group Holding, Bioera and Umbria srl .
The application for trial, submitted by prosecutors Luigi Luzi and Guido Schininà, together with deputy prosecutor Roberto Pellicano, following the investigations entrusted to the Financial and Economic Crime Unit of the Gdf and concluded in mid-July, will be assessed by a preliminary hearing judge at the preliminary hearing.
With regard to the charges set out in the investigation report, only one minor charge against one suspect was dropped following a request for the case to be dismissed, after an interview.
The request for a trial concerns not only the MP but also her son Lorenzo, her former partner Giovanni Canio Mazzaro and her sister Fiorella Garnero.
And also the section – which remained unpublished until July – concerning 3.3 million euros, obtained in 2021 by “misleading” Invitalia and exploiting the business support measures introduced during the Covid pandemic.
