Two global comparison, Italy vs. Switzerland
Per meglio comprendere la gravità delle truffe perpetrate dal manipolo di delinquenti legati alla Protezione Civile (scusate le maiuscole) non c'è altro metodo che il confornto.
Già, perchè che sono delinquenti lo sappiamo, molti lo sapevano già da prima che saltassero fuori le ormai famose intercettazioni.
Il difficile in questi casi è quantificare.
A quanto ammontano le truffe? Quanti soldi caccia lo stato, più del dovuto?
Qual è l'impatto ambientale?
A rispondere a queste domande ci aiuta un interessante articolo from the site of the Republic. The article, among other information, compares the organization of the Road World Championships Varese and Mendrisio.
I make a short introduction for non-cycling enthusiasts.
The world of cycling consists of ten races that involve a few thousand athletes (figures completely intuitive). These races are held on the track (you only need one ..) or on the road. For road races do not require 250 km of roads rebuilt, because the competition is made in the circuit, which is 20 km to be repeated year-old times.
Well ... is neither a modiale football, nor a world of athletics.
In 2008 the event takes place in Varese,
in 2009 to about 20 km away, However, in Switzerland, Mendrisio.
Let's see how and how were they spent the money for the organization of the event.
remember for the Italian edition, the organization was one of the jewels of Civil Defense (sorry still the case, we say they are for honest people - many - who work there).
Compare the numbers, make the appropriate proportions with major events and return safely to do your own business. From

Over 70 million for the 2008 race with the emergency procedures of the Civil Protection
Mondiali ciclismo, la legge dell'urgenza
a Varese spese folli e lavori a metà
di DAVIDE CARLUCCI
VARESE - La conferenza stampa è prevista per
giovedì a Mendrisio, in Svizzera. Gli organizzatori dei mondiali di
ciclismo 2009 spiegheranno come hanno utilizzato i 9 milioni di
euro ricevuti dal Canton Ticino per l'evento. "Abbiamo speso meno
del previsto - spiega il presidente del comitato, Marco Sangiorgio
- e restituiremo anche 100mila euro". Le strade per le bici sono
state rifatte. Ma non un mattone in più.
Diciotto chilometri più a sud, a Varese, i mondiali sono stati
organizzati un anno prima con la procedura d'urgenza della
Protezione civile. Ma i conti, due anni dopo, sono un mistero. Si
conosce l'ammontare dello stanziamento: 71,4 milioni di euro, per
lo più fondi statali. La società organizzatrice, la "Varese 2008
spa", ha un buco di 2 milioni. E la procura indaga per capire come
mai tutto quel denaro pubblico abbia prodotto effetti così
perversi: mega-alberghi costruiti in zone ad alto rischio
idrogeologico che ora lottano con la crisi, ponti e strutture per i
ciclisti inesistenti. E un parcheggio mai realizzato in viale
Europa. It had to be ready before the championships, but it's still
a mound of earth, until a few months ago with high grass and
protest signs.
Another masterpiece signed Guido Bertolaso \u200b\u200b
over by Berlusconi in 2005, the power to waive any rule
urban benefiting two real estate agents: Salvatore Ligresti
Polita and Sandro, a builder with many friends in
center. The bulk of the contracts, though -
€ 54 million for highways, not quite completed - goes to "Varese 2008

development" has already snapped up works great especially
Rome (from nuova sede della corte d'Appello, committente il
provveditorato alle opere pubbliche Angelo Balducci, al Maxxi). Il
resto va ai parcheggi, ad altre opere infrastrutturali e alla
preparazione dell'evento.
La gestione dei lavori per i mondiali non convince il gip Giuseppe
Battarino, che a luglio respinge la richiesta di archiviare una
denuncia di Legambiente per la reggia da 78 camere costruita da
Polita a Capolago: "La protezione civile non ha poteri
extralegali", scrive. Ed esorta a "verificare che l'esercizio
concreto dei poteri attribuiti al Dipartimento sia avvenuto in
maniera illegittima o illecita". Ma in procura c'era chi già
lavorava in segreto the sack of the city: the prosecutor Agostino Abate,
one in Varese made it difficult for many. Beginning with Polita, with whom he negotiates

has already gained a lot of cards. The investigation aims to understand why it was chosen

extra-institutional relations between the various actors, both public and private
involved in the deal.
to be clarified is how, when and why Ligresti comes into play.
The entrepreneur had a nice terrain close to the Hippodrome,
view of the Alps: he had spotted in 1998 when he was
visitor, to serve a sentence, a community for
addicts. Buy it for just over a billion dollars.
And when, in 2005, the cycling federation chooses Varese, the area
is there, ready for inclusion in "the plan of works" Bertolaso \u200b\u200b

"non completato in vista dell'evento", scrive, è "contraddittorio
rispetto alla funzionalizzazione del piano delle opere al regolare
svolgimento dei campionati mondiali di ciclismo".
