The case of Saudi Arabia
According to the Ansa agency, the parliamentary control committee on security information services has decided to ask the prosecutors who are investigating these issues for the documents of the investigations to verify any profiles of interest, that is, possible threats to national security. On Renzi the former premier Giuseppe Conte went on the attack. And he cited payments from the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Finance, where Renzi has gone several times as a board member of the Future Investment Initiative led by Crown Prince, Mohammad bin Salman. The prosecutor of Florence investigates the case.
The cards of Milan
The Milan prosecutor’s office, in turn, sent a European investigation order to Madrid to be able to hear Hugo Armando Carvajal, former Venezuelan intelligence chief. Carvajal was in office at the time of the government of Hugo Chavez and at the beginning of that of Nicolas Maduro. Carvajal wanted to avoid extradition to the United States: so, in Spain, he began to issue statements on the illegal financing of the Caracas regime. And to the Spanish judges he would have cited left-wing parties of various nations, including the 5 Star Movement.
