D’Alema and the missed deal: “Let’s bypass the Italian government”
The war in Ukraine sparked a real arms market around the world. Among those who have smelled the business – we read on the Truth – there would also be Massimo D’Alema. The former prime minister would in fact have tried to act as a intermediary for a sale al Colombian Ministry of Defense of 4 Fcx30 corvettes and two Trachinus class submarines, produced by Fincantierias well as some M346 aircraft of Leonardo. A job he and the other brokers were hoping to cash out for 80 mln in euros. The negotiation would go on for six months, starting in September 2021, but then it would run aground when the undersecretary Giorgio Mulèexponent of Come on Italycame to know of the affair.
“When I recently – Mulè explains to the Truth – I learned about the affair, through the Colombian ambassador Gloria Isabel Ramirez Rioof the unspecified intervention of D’Alema as a representative, I informed the top management of Leonardo and the Minister of Defense Lorenzo Guerini“. On February 10, then, there would be an interlocution through a call via interpreter, of D’Alema with the head of the Colombian working group. D’Alema would have just referred to Mulè. “Since we know that Undersecretary Mulè has spoken to the Deputy Minister of Defense, we ask that there be only one channel. The question is delicate. So we do not risk having interference. We are convinced that in the end we will all receive 80 mln, so you can make an investment. Then we inform the Italian government. “The negotiation would have been broken.
