06 August 2019Confirm the sentence to 3 years and 9 months to the ex-treasurer of the League Francesco Belsito, and to a year and 10 months for Umberto Bossi in the trial on the maxi-fraud against the State on 49 million of repayments to the League. This was requested by the deputy public prosecutor of the Cassation, Marco Dall'Olio.

The confirmation of the judgment of the Genoa Court of Appeal of 26 November 2018 also involves the confirmation of the confiscation of the 49 million euros of electoral reimbursements used for illegitimate purposes thanks to the falsification of the financial statements from 2008 to 2010.

"Conduct fraudulent", "very different from misappropriation". This is what was reported by the deputy pg of the Cassation in its indictment. "The evidentiary system is free of uncertainties that cannot be questioned," the prosecutor said asking for confirmation of the convictions of Bossi and Belsito.

The magistrate has asked the college of the sixth section that the appeals of Bossi and Belsito be declared "inadmissible", that a new trial be ordered for the former auditors of the Northern League (even if this will entail a prescription of the crime) and for Belsito the declaration from the interdiction of public offices for five years, because it is not reported in the appeal sentence.
