An open case between France and Italy for a report on Fincantieri

France will be too vigilant on issues of ethics and compliance during the negotiations between the Italian group Fincantieri and the French naval group, sources at the Paris Ministry of Defense told Reuters rumors report – made by the Adit government intelligence service – very critical about Fincantieri. Since last autumn, Fincantieri and Naval Group collaborate in the birth of a European naval giant, following the agreement concluded in September between France and Italy for the pbadage to Fincantieri de the majority of French shipyards STX in Saint Nazaire. Nowadays STX has been nationalized again, then 100% in the hands of the French government: everything is provided by the agreements, an intermediate step before the transfer of 50% to Fincantieri in the autumn. But at the moment, the Adit report, quoted by La Tribune, which talks about links or supposed links between suppliers of Fincantieri and some criminal organizations, is apparent. Among other things, the file cites the case of former Lega treasurer, Francesco Belsito, accused of funding the party, which would play a mediating role between Fincantieri and Libya. A reference that comes after the tensions between Macron and Salvini. From the Italian group came a denial that leaves no room for interpretation: The information of The Tribune is completely unfounded. The Minister of Economy, Bruno Le Maire, continues to believe in the agreement and, in the coming weeks, he will go to Rome to meet with the Italian government
