Chairman and CEO of defense giant Finmeccanica, Mr Giuseppe Orsi, is being investigated for allegedly paying millions of euros in bribes to the Northern League party.
Both Mr Orsi and the Northern League deny the allegations made by former external relations director, Mr Lorenzo Borgogni.
The Northern League released a statement which read: “[…] the Northern League has nothing to do with this affair and has never taken bribes from Finmeccanica or anyone else […] [anyone] who associates the Northern League with this affair will be prosecuted in the civil and criminal courts”.
