An "illegal mediation" in exchange for 240 thousand euros. It is a heavy accusation that the Milanese prosecutor moves against Beppe Grillo, investigated for trafficking in illicit influences together with Vincenzo Onorato, the shipowner who in 2018 and 2019 would have paid a compensation of 120 thousand to the communication company of the founder of the Movimento Cinque Stelle. euro per year to disseminate "editorial content" for the Moby brand on the web.
An "apparent" compensation for the judiciary, behind which there would have been requests to move in favor of the shipping company in financial difficulties, advanced by the Neapolitan entrepreneur and sent by the leader of the M5S, via chat, to the "parliamentarians in charge" of its deployment to "guide" public intervention.
THE SEQUESTRI - Yesterday the men of the Gdf Economic and Financial Police Unit, coordinated by the prosecutor Cristiana Roveda and the deputy prosecutor Maurizio Romanelli, searched and seized chats, emails and documents stored on PCs and on other IT media in the offices of Beppe Grillo srl in Genoa and Casaleggio Associati in the center of Milan and other people not under investigation, including the son of the patron of the "blue whale", Achille Onorato. The mobile phones of the web graphics of the blog of Beppe Grillo, Nina Monti, Luca Eleuteri, founding partner of Casaleggio Associati, that of the CEO of Moby Spa Achille Onorato and Annamaria Barrile and Giovanni Savarese, who were in the company head of institutional relations and head of the press office.
What immediately jumped to the eye is instead that Grillo's cell phone was not seized, on which it is also assumed that the owner's requests were received at the entrance or the inputs to the 5-star parliamentarians at the exit. An obvious choice, therefore, by the Milan Public Prosecutor's Office, which did not even dare to look for chats on the devices of 5-star deputies protected by parliamentary guarantees. Otherwise a whole series of chats would have ended up in the proceedings, for example on the dynamics of the Movement, on the relationship between Grillo and the former premier Conte, on the positioning of the 5 Stars in view of the upcoming vote at the Quirinale, and probably also on the process that sees his son Ciro involved in Sardinia.
