Dates and numbers are essential to clarify Fico’s dealings on board. On July 21, 2022, Draghi’s government ended its experience. In the afternoon, Republican President Sergio Mattarella issued a decree dissolving the Chambers and calling general elections for September 25. The legislature is over. On 27 July, five days after the dissolution of Parliament, House Speaker Roberto Fico sent a letter to all members of parliament inviting them to indicate any changes to their assets within 3 months of the end of the legislative term (cessation of office). Namely purchasing cars, boats and houses. Because what regulates it is the law. In particular, article 4 of the law of 5 July 1982 n.441 requires all members of parliament to communicate any changes in assets within three months after leaving office. A law that Fico himself knows and he asks his colleagues to respect.
But will he? Il Giornale was able to reveal how the boat Paprika, a 36-foot motorboat measuring almost ten meters with a relaxation area and solarium, was purchased by Fico in the summer of 2022 (between June and July). However, from documents found on the Chamber of Deputies website, it turns out that the former number one person in Montecitorio never communicated changes in assets, namely the purchase of a boat in accordance with the provisions of the law. A mistake that could result in him having to undergo legal proceedings for not reporting. “Fico as Chairman of the Chamber of Deputies must know that every year someone announces his financial statements. to act stupidly, but this is a very serious fact. If the outgoing President of the Council fails to communicate changes in his financial position, we will be faced with the previous institutional humiliation” insisted Fratelli d’Italia senator Antonio Iannone.
And another mystery arises in ship affairs that risks overwhelming the M5 candidate in Campania. Fico will use the space to moor his ships at the military port of Nisida, in the province of Naples. The staff of the former chairman of the Council reported: “The accusation made by the centre-right against the former president of the Council was that he had moored the boat in the area related to the Air Force sports club in Nisida. At that time, he made a request – which was later accepted – for security reasons. A concession that was guaranteed to some civilians, generally people holding certain and complicated institutional positions”.
But here another chapter of this saga opens. From documents seen by the newspaper, Fico doesn’t own any boats until 2022. Here’s the question. For which ship did you get permission (as a high-ranking state official) to dock in the Nisida military area? A boat that isn’t yours? About his partner? Maybe it’s a rental boat.
It’s a different story if the permit is granted from 2022 onwards, practically because Fico no longer holds public office. And why is this privilege granted? Questions that Defense Minister Guido Crosetto will answer in the next few hours when questioned by the Fratelli d’Italia.
From Defense sources contacted by Giornale it is known that the sea section between Nisida and Cuomo is intended for Navy and Air Force training. No civil permits are permitted. Tears for Fico? He should indicate the authorization received from Defense and dispel all doubts.
