Only Mondadori can be called so, because it comes from the choice of De Benedetti and Berlusconi addresses three arbitrators appointed by them. The Alfano, however, is a simple law
a couple of weeks, Italians hear ringing in their ears, expression, "Lodo Mondadori", which sounds distant and unknown, through an information system, especially television that seems made for confusing even to those who.
The fact that the latest developments of the award Mondadori are intertwined with those of another award, the Alfano, added confusion to confusion. We must say what an "award" means a joint solution that closes out of court, a dispute between two parties, that is an argument. So the Alfano was not an award, but a law imposed by Berlusconi to freeze its processes. The Constitutional Court has also held unconstitutional, the law, and then processes the premier resume. Mondadori, however, was that for an award. What happened? In 1990 and Carlo De Benedetti and Silvio Berlusconi claimed ownership of the largest Italian publishing group, by virtue of two successive agreements to acquire the control of the family Formenton-Mondadori.
The two sides decided to entrust the dispute to a panel of three arbitrators: one appointed by De Benedetti, a Formenton by Berlusconi and the other by the Supreme Court. Eventually the arbitrators issued a decision of the arbitrators that gave reason to De Benedetti: Mondadori was his as the holders of a majority had promised before him. At that point, Knight and his allies challenged the ruling and brought before the Court of Appeal in Rome. This, in January '91, overturned the ruling and gave Berlusconi the Mondadori publishing house, which contained not only the branch books, but several newspapers: La Repubblica, L'Espresso, Panorama, Epoca and a dozen local newspapers. Then, thanks to the revelations of Stefania Ariosto and bank transactions in Switzerland discovered, it was discovered that the lawyers of Fininvest - Cesare Previti, Attilio Pacifico and Giovanni Acampora - ruling that they had bought with money of Fininvest, to pay to the court that he had signed , Vittorio Metta, at least 420 million in cash. What's more, it was discovered that the ruling had not written Metta, but someone inspired by the same lawyers Fininvest: the corrupt judge it took him only the signature, filed 160 pages of handwritten motivation in just 24 hours (a company that even Balzac) , then began to collect money is not justified, and finally left the Judiciary to go to work as a lawyer in the previous study with his daughter Sabrina. The Supreme Court finally ruled against both the judge and three lawyers, who been saved thanks to the statute of limitations (although the decision states that the sentence had been bought "in his interest" and that he was "corrupting private "behind the operation. In essence, For twenty years the Knights have the first Italian publishing group (of which restored the Republic, Express and local newspapers to the group De Benedetti-Carracciolo) thanks to a ruling bought with his money by his lawyers in his interest.
why the criminal courts, condemning the judge and lawyers, have said that De Benedetti was compensated for their losses in a separate civil case: the one that ended three weeks ago, at first instance, with the verdict of Judge Raymond Mesiano , who quantified the damage at 750 million euro. Mesiano was just to establish what we had put De Benedetti, but that compensation was due by the Fininvest had already said the Supreme Court.
Now of course the Knight launched the war against the national media, of course, "communist", the author of the award, of course "policy." And his newspaper wrote that compensation is a "theft", an "expropriation", a "political attack". But politics has nothing to do.
