Politicians at their best. No matter what there is no way a politician not to be involved is some "weird" case. Either they participating directly, or looking the other way.

Politicians and unguarded money? That does not end well. And the ens of the story will be: dealers, that swindle a casino out of a few thousand dollars will go to jail, bit those guys will stay out of it.

Yes no surprise to see politicians and problems that they are doing or law that they are breaking, this is happening in all world and people are not feeling even surprised no mo re this is just the action that people expect politicians are doing. Sad thing really.
It's quite strange for me to read the same news ... how it seems to me that if such things are done, politicians should have made themselves secure ... and if they did not do it then they themselves are to blame for this .... they caught by the hand and correctly

I am not sure if this is the case here, but in many parts of the world, organized crime, one of the most conspicuous sources of political corruption, has historically shown an interest in infiltrating the political arena to facilitate business.

This is a fraud of massive proportions and the amount of money missing is huge. It looks like this has been going on for a long time and it will be very interesting to see how this plays out

Can you believe that such stuff goes on in the United States of EUROPEVILLE? Well, only in Italy ..... or anywhere else for that matter could or would something like this go down. Amazing only twenty people were discovered to be involved. How many do you think we're really involved? Maybe we could run a book on it!!!!!
Posted by CALICUL: You are right. Politicians steal many billions in this world. But people sleeping...
It seems to me that people who choose a career politician initially know about the money that will come along with the post .... and the fact that the money will be dishonest and violating the law is also known to everyone .... therefore, politicians are initially not very good people

Nothing surprises me in regard to fraud of this type since not only Italy is seen involuntary, in most of the countries of the world it is exposed by the different portals of informaciona this news of corruption, fiscal evasion or as it is called.-

Does the mafia still have this level of sway in Italy, I wonder? You'd think that if these twenty officials were all in cahoots with each other that this would have been uncovered more quickly. You can't have a conspiracy with that many involved.
20 of them so in equal split thats 7 millions each
