11 July 2020New ideas deemed interesting in support of the hypothesis of the Prosecutor's Office and of the fact that not a few in the Region knew of the conflict of interest related to the supply of gowns and other protective devices for over half a million euros by Dama Spa , the company owned by Andrea Dini, the brother-in-law of Governor Attilio Fontana, have emerged in these hours from the documents collected in the investigation by the Milan prosecutor.

These are documents that would leave no doubt that that direct order of material to Dama Spa was transformed during the work as a donation and would represent a confirmation that, in the regional circles, there were many who knew that the company it belongs to the family of the Lombard president and therefore that order was inappropriate.

According to the investigation, the documentation that the Gdf Currency Police Special Unit has acquired in recent days and that it is gradually transmitting to the prosecutors Luigi Furno, Paolo Filippini and Carlo Scalas, and to the adjunct Maurizio Romanelli, from a first examination would allow to add extra pieces to the reconstruction of investigators and investigators.

Further evidence would enter the file, again in response to the accusatory hypothesis, that Dini would attempt to sell the 25,000 lab coats not delivered to the Region as a donation. In addition, the documents include the full registration of the Report reporting service from which the court case arose.

The story would have been revealed, it was known in circles close to the file, by an unsuspected person. In the investigation Filippo Bongiovanni, Aria's managing director who left the job yesterday, and Dini, are investigated for disturbed freedom in the contractor's choice procedure.

The hearings of technicians and other witnesses will resume from the first days of next week, Monday and Tuesday. One of the points that we want to clarify, as there are elements that would make him hypothesize, is whether or not Fontana had an active role in the story. The President has always said that he never knew anything about the order of gowns.

Assessor Cattaneo: "We had the duty to supply the lab coats"
"Consider the seriousness of the moment we were, when the doctors in the front line had no protective tools, we had the duty to provide". So the Lombard commissioner, Raffaele Cattaneo, on the investigation on the lab coats. "Having been heard as a witness, I am required to investigate secrecy - he points out on the sidelines of an event in the province of Varese -. I have committed myself to identifying companies in conditions of reconverting themselves and providing quality products, from a technical and certification point of view . This is a public value. "
