Attilio Fontana investigated for the donation of gowns to the Lombardy Region. In the Regional Council the governor had to defend himself, reiterating that it was a free donation precisely. At the end of the League’s speech, a protest from the League and Brothers of Italy arose in his defense with a lot of choirs and flags of the Lombardy Region. Fontana, involved in the investigation opened by the Milan Public Prosecutor on charges of fraud in public supplies, explained to the Council: “As a lawyer I studied years of law, it saddens me to see how investigation details have emerged from 72 hours, elements that few could know and that I fear are aimed at destabilizing a solid regional government and certainly not to reach a procedural truth “.
And again: “I have reflected a lot on the opportunity to intervene today, above all for the concern to act as a resonance for controversies that I consider sterile and instrumental. But in the end I decided to be here to turn the page”. While on the supply of overalls, “I am still convinced that it was a correct shop. But since the evil is in the eye of the beholder, I asked my brother-in-law to give up the payment and to consider that lost revenue as a further gesture of generosity “.
