Bankruptcy, Irene Pivetti sent to trial in Rome

The former president of the Chamber Irene Pivetti has been sent to trial in Rome on charges of fraudulent bankruptcy in relation to the bankruptcy of the China Services Company. With Pivetti also on trial is the liquidator of the company, for the years from 2015 to 2019, and considered by the prosecutor's office to be a "mere dumbass". The former parliamentarian was a director of the company until 2015.

According to the indictment, the two "took and destroyed, with the aim of obtaining an unfair profit for themselves or others or of causing harm to creditors, a large part of the books and accounting and corporate records of the bankrupt China Services Company in liquidation".

Pivetti and the co-accused "in the year 2015 alone", would have diverted the sum of almost 34 thousand euros "through bank transfers, bank transfers and withdrawals" in favor of Pivetti.

Furthermore, the former president of the Chamber would have diverted "in his own favour, through bank transfers, bank transfers and withdrawals not supported by any causal justification in the year 2014 alone" the sum of approximately 2,800 euros.
