Actually the scoop was made by the two journalists de L'Espresso Giovanni Tizian is Stefano Vergine, which in their book The black book of the League released in February as well as telling the story of Metropol-Savoini they also talked about how the Lega had invested over 5.7 million euros in bonds.

With lots of documents in hand, the two journalists revealed the existence of € 300,000 in ArcelorMittal bonds, the Franco-Indian giant owner of Ilva and who now wants to withdraw from the contract if it is not granted the penal shield and the possibility of revising the industrial plan with as much as 5,000 redundancies among the workers.

"Ask the administrator, I don't deal with the stock exchange, I deal with politics"Was the answer from Matteo Salvini to those who have now asked him about this affair, with a law of 2012 that in any case forbids parties to invest in financial instruments that are different from government bonds of EU countries.

The League and ArcelorMittal's alleged 300,000 euro bond

With the decision to withdraw from the contract signed only a year ago, ArcelorMittal wants to get out of the management ofIlva providing as a reason the revocation of the penal shield and the decision of the Court of Taranto to close the blast furnace 2, which would make it impossible to comply with the production contract.

The truth, however, could be another: also thanks to the global crisis in the steel sector, ArcelorMittal would have already lost with Ilva in one year 1 billion and to move forward would like to reduce production with relative 5,000 redundancies among the workers, otherwise see you in thanks.

An issue that has inevitably caused a harsh polemic even with the political Alloy in the front row in attacking the guilty government for having created the conditions with the revocation of the criminal shield (actually a measure also voted by the League when it was in government with the 5 Stars) for a flight of the French-Indian giant.

Now, however, we are returning to talk about another story, which has been under scrutiny at the time of its denunciation a bit like the Metropol case, but which could now lead to more than one headache for Matteo Salvini.

According to the documents revealed by Giovanni Tizian and Stefano Vergine in their book, in spite of the law that forbids it Alloy would have invested as can be seen from the memo dated May 2014 over 5.7 million in bonds.

Regarding ArcelorMittal the Carroccio would have invested in total 300,000 euros, with Matteo Salvini who defended himself in the face of the Russian affair, saying to ask the administrator for an account as "I have 10,000 euros in shares and I have none of ArcelorMittal".

It would be necessary in this regard to dispel any doubt a clarification of Giuliano Centemero, the treasurer of the League at the center of some investigations into the alleged illegal financing received from the PiuVoci non-profit organization, linked to the Carroccio, by the builder Luca Parnasi and Bernardo Caprotti creator of Esselunga which passed away in 2016.
