30 April 2020The Bari Public Prosecutor's Office ordered the seizure of assets for 16 million against the former leaders of the Popolare di Bari: Gianluca Jacobini, former co-director of the Banca Popolare di Bari, Giuseppe Marella and Nicola Loperfido, heads of Internal Audit and Management Business of the institute, commissioned in December 2019 by Bankitalia. The three are accused of obstruction of supervision. Jacobini also of false social communications. BpB is under investigation for the administrative liability of the entity.According to the investigations of the Guardia di Finanza, coordinated by the assistant prosecutor Roberto Rossi and the substitutes Savina Toscani and Federico Perrone Capano, the suspects would have granted loans to some customers of the bank, mainly large business groups, "directly or indirectly used for the purchase of treasury shares, with a total of 48.9 million euros in accidents on the bank's own funds ".
In particular, the seizure relates directly to the money in the availability of the aforementioned suspects up to the amount of the aforementioned amount and, in the alternative, in case of inability of the assets attributable to them, in the form "for equivalent". The investigative context refers to the treatment of the loans disbursed by the bank in connection with purchases of shares / bonds issued by the same popular; it is a series of 'kissed operations' which generated a sort of welding between certain loans disbursed by the bank and significant purchases of shares issued by the same BpB and, therefore, potentially incident, negatively, on the institution's own funds, to the pursuant to prudential supervisory regulations.
However, according to the prosecution, they would not have had to enter the value of these shares in the financial statements and in the regulatory capital, which guarantees the bank's solidity because, simplifying, it is not new money but of the bank's own funds. Instead they would have done so, hiding it from Bankitalia, ie by communicating, for the fourth quarter of 2015, an amount of the funds of the Popolare di Bari "not corresponding to the true", "overestimated". Jacobini and Marella are also investigated in the investigation for false accounting and false prospectus which on January 31 last led to the arrest of the former directors of the bank, including Gianluca Jacobini and his father Marco, former president, both still under arrest house.
