Toti, file opened on alleged mask fraud during Covid. The lawyer: he did not resign

Investigating the exchange vote between the riesina and calabrian communities and the list of the president Giovanni Toti, investigators also uncovered a EUR 1.2 million maxi-fraud on healthcare supplies during Covid. In particular, masks, which were untraceable in the middle of the pandemic and precious as gold in phase two for schools and public places. This is what emerges from the papers filed as part of the investigation that put the president of the region under house arrest.

"I spoke with President Toti very recently and I 100% rule out that he has resigned. I don't know why certain rumours are being sworn. Tomorrow morning we will set the day for the interrogation, which I hope to do in the week, then we will see". This was said by the lawyer assisting Giovanni Toti.

"I said everything, everything...": so Aldo Spinelli at the end of the interrogation of guarantee before the gip Paola Faggioni confirmed that he had answered the investigators' questions. Roberto Spinelli, son of Aldo Spinelli, the port entrepreneur who ended up under house arrest because he was accused of corruption, is said to have answered the questions of the judge for preliminary investigations.

Francesco Moncada, a former board member of Esserelunga, who was the recipient of an interdiction order as part of the Genoa Public Prosecutor's investigation that led to the house arrest of the governor of Liguria, Giovanni Toti, made spontaneous statements before the Genoa Magistrate's Court, Paola Falcioni, and "affirmed his innocence with respect to the facts" under investigation. As stated in a note by his lawyers, represented by Paola Severino, Moncada, 'has in particular stressed that during the meeting held on 17 March 2022 at the Region's headquarters he always intended to act in full compliance with the law and in absolute transparency. As is clear from the text of the interceptions, he has always expressed a willingness to act 'in the light of day' and has therefore denied having entered into any unlawful pact'. As for the technical and bureaucratic aspects of the Sestri file, Moncada emphasises "that it has had a very long and articulated process, started at the municipal level as far back as August 2010, passed through favourable judgements of the TAR and the Council of State, and finally arrived at the stage of the first services conference in these days. In contrast, Savona's file did not require any regional passage,' he said. Moncada also pointed out, according to the defence, that 'the contract with Società Programmazioni Televisive S.p.A. has nothing to do with the dispute, as it exclusively concerns television programming and not Terrazza Colombo advertising.
