17 Feb 1992. Mario Chiesa arrested!

    Uh oh. Looks like someone's been taking in a little "extra income".  Your pal, Mario, was caught red-handed with 7m lire (US$5,700) in his pocket - money from a cleaning contract. Mario was the director of an old people's home in Milan and was caught in the act of collecting the money. 

    Mario had run and even financed the campaign of your son, Bobo (cute name) for election into the city council in Milan (hmm...), was responsible for obtaining accommodation for your wife's charitable association (hmm...), and was a peripheral member of your Craxi family circle (hmm...). Smells like nepotism to me.

   In court, he had told the magistrate everything - from collecting the money behind closed doors to the fact that he never had to ask for money. It was always offered to him. Hmmm... seems that this has been going on for quite a while now.

Would you know anything about this?

"Okay okay." You think to yourself. "The game's up. They know. Might as well just give myself up and get on with life...behind bars." And thus you go and confess for all your corrupt practices to the police.

NO WAY!

Mario is a mariuolo (Rogue in Italian)! I can't believe he would go do something like that! He is a disgrace to the party and he should be sent to prison where rouges like him belong.
