Sgarbi and consultancy (forbidden). He defends himself: “It’s not true that I can’t do it”
Vittorio Sgarbi he ended up in the crosshairs for his consultancy prohibited by law as a member of the government. The undersecretary to Culture he would have collected 300 thousand euros since February for having participated in exhibitions and would also have withdrawn several award. But the law prohibits it. For twenty years – we read in Il Fatto Quotidiano – it has imposed on political office holders Of devote themselves exclusively to the “care of public interests”. Prohibiting “professional activities in matters related to government office”. The Minister of Culture Gennaro Sangiuliano you know? He gave a approval? Sgarbi meanwhile replies: “My activity is not prohibited by law. I’m like a minister who writes books“. And he announces complaints. The money they would end up as two limited companies attributable to him.

But what does the law say? Sgarbi – continues Il Fatto – is bound to 215/2004 which requires those who hold it to dedicate themselves “exclusively to the care of public interests”. From the oath onwards, “the holder cannot derive, for the entire duration of the government, any form of remuneration or advantage“. The law also prohibits “carry out professional activities or self-employment in matters related to government office, of any nature, even if free, for public or private entities”. The legislator specifies: “They are also banned abroad”. Sgarbi’s lawyer wrote to Il Fatto: “For now, please refrain from publishing news, also to avoid violating privacy and the secrecy of the investigation.”
