April 27, 2018 The Gup of Milan Alessandra Del Corvo has indicted the former managing director of Monte dei Paschi di Siena, Fabrizio Viola, and the former president of the bank, Alessandro Profumo.

Both are accused of stock manipulation and false accounting for the account of the Santorini and Alexandria derivatives.

The trial will begin on July 17th.



The Milan public prosecutor had asked for the acquittal of both.

Paolo Salvadori, former president of the board of statutory auditors, as well as the bank itself, charged for the law on the administrative liability of entities, was sent for trial, even if only for the accusation of forgery.



The prosecutors Baggio, Civardi and Clerici had asked, already in September 2016, the dismissal of the charges against the defendants.

The request, however, was rejected, in April 2017, by the investigating judge Livio Cristofano, who had ordered the forced indictment.

Hence the request for indictment and the preliminary hearing in which Civardi had requested the acquittal with reasons similar to those of the filing request.



The prosecutors had argued that Viola and Profumo, given the "restatement" of the MPS budget carried out by them and the discovery of the various tricks that would have been adopted by those who had preceded them to hide the "holes", would have acted without any intention to falsify accounts (between 2011 and 2014) or to conceal losses.

A different reading of the investigating judge of the forced indictment (also a new advice ordered by the Attorney General's records) which recognized in the conduct of the managers alleged deceptive profiles towards the market because that accounting

not

dispelled the ambiguities on derivatives.
