Pini: “Imaginative suggestions used as a political club”
“Truth must be distinguished from false, facts from conjectures, things must be separated from the noise they make”. The former deputy of the Northern League Gianluca Pini, who broke up with Matteo Salvini’s League after the secretary’s national and sovereign turning point, entrusts to Affaritaliani.it the answer to the everyday Tomorrow that, in an article entitled ‘The affairs of Giorgetti’s loyalist about Covid’, writes that ‘the former deputy Pini, a friend of the Minister of Economic Development, is in the crosshairs of the prosecutors of Forlì. The hypothesis is corruption and fraud. Owner of bars and clubs, the Northern League has a turnover of 4 million euros by selling devices to Ausl Romagna and to private individuals. Relations with the director of Monopoli Minenna. Giorgetti was a partner in a company of the most faithful until a few months ago.
“The truth – explains Pini – is that in the acute phase of the first wave, during which medical devices were unavailable, the State had asked – all those who could – to undertake to find as many medical devices as possible to try to to stem their absolute shortage; and so we have done, at the request of the Romagna AUSL and COROFAR. It is true that no tender or auction was foreseen, due to the dramatic situation of urgency and emergency: therefore all the supplies in that tragic moment were, by force of circumstances, in direct entrustment: therefore it is not possible to understand which auction disturbance we are talking about. The truth is that I did not have and do not have any personal relationship with the Manager who signed the supply request and that all the relationships have been traced and can be reconstructed step by step, line by line “.
“It is true – he continues – that the company I represent was the only one in Romagna to be able to find, in a very short time, regular and legally verified medical devices intended to protect the health workers on the front line, the operators AUSL and Corofar Customers. It is true that without that supply the AUSL itself would have been forced to limit or cease numerous services and the Corofar group pharmacies would not have had certified products to be sold for the population.. It is true that all supplies and transactions were carried out in a traced manner, that the products were certified, tested, validated by the applicants and rechecked by the anti-fraud services at the end of 2020: therefore it is not clear how we can speak. of fraud. Here ends what is true in the story reported in the press today. The rest are inferences and suggestions, made appetizing by the condiment guaranteed by political gossip: a spice that gives the edge to any narrative “.
Pini adds: “The undersigned and the company I represent have placed themselves at the complete disposal of the competent authorities from the very beginning to reconstruct the facts. All the documentation necessary to demonstrate non-involvement in any illegal conduct was requested and immediately exhibited. Since we are very clear about our contractual good faith, the absolute correctness, legality and transparency of our work, we can only hope that the investigations proceed quickly “.
“Of course: nothing can alleviate the bitterness of seeing that an exceptional effort required by the state of an entrepreneur in a dramatic phase even becomes a reason for political fury towards one of the best ministers that this ramshackle Republic has ever had. It will not be imaginative suggestions used as a political club to question our honesty, nor imaginative reconstructions to discredit Giancarlo Giorgetti, which I hear from time to time, which I have not seen for a long time and which has nothing to do with my business activities “, concludes the former deputy of the Northern League.
