Visibilia Editore
, a company which until a few weeks ago had Senator Fdi and new minister of Tourism
or Daniela Santanchè
as its first shareholder , and which she founded, "is in evident and manifest state of insolvency".
The Milan Public Prosecutor's Office puts it in black and white in the application for "judicial liquidation", ie bankruptcy, presented to the bankruptcy court.
Request made starting from a complaint of the minority shareholders and after the analyzes of the Economic and Financial Police Unit of the Gdf, coordinated by the prosecutor Roberto Fontana.
As a consequence, as often happens in these cases, they have led to the opening of a file for hypothesis of bankruptcy which are being assessed by the former directors, including Santanchè, who was president and CEO between 2016 and last January and which recently divested its quotas.
The senator, as far as has been known, would be investigated together with others in the proceedings in which, again on assessments in the records of the Gdf, alleged false corporate communications are also contested.
On the ongoing investigation, with some passages also secreted for the lawyers, there is maximum confidentiality.
But she denies with a note from her lawyer, Salvatore Sanzo: '' the sen.

lei-lei does not answer the truth that "a case of fraudulent bankruptcy is opened", given the absence of the objective assumption of the judicial liquidation of the company, only hypothesized in the abstract ".
The liquidation request for Visibilia, listed on Euronext Growth Milan, was formulated in recent days and the company itself reported it in a press release in which it explains that "it will exercise its defensive prerogatives by the hearing set for November 30" and "will contest the existence of the state of insolvency".
In the application, in particular, the Public Prosecutor reports debts towards the Inland Revenue for approximately 984 thousand euros.
The Gdf also analyzed the financial statements "between 2016 and 2020", as shown in an information document.
And he highlighted "constant losses already starting from the 2016 financial year" and, reviewing all the points of the minority shareholders' complaint (which also gave rise to an ongoing civil case for "

As early as 2017, however, writes the Gdf, the Visibilia board of directors "should have approved financial statements showing goodwill values and deferred tax assets that are widely different from those approved".
At the center of the investigations also "the liquidity injections deriving" from a loan signed in 2017 with a fund from the United Arab Emirates: a convertible bond loan that, as clarified by the Fiamme Gialle, has "allowed the continuation of the entrepreneurial activity but also, in fact,
The losses of the company, meanwhile, explain the investigators, have been calmed "by the erroneous accounting of the assets 'goodwill' and 'prepaid taxes'".
While the state tax debts are not "paid in installments" and the first files date back to 2018. Based on these analyzes, the investigations against the former directors of Visibilia are underway, including Santanchè's partner, Dimitri Kunz D ' Habsburg Lorraine, and the sister of Senator Fiorella Garnero.
In the evening, a note from the company made it known that the directors '' discussed with the shareholders Luca Giuseppe Reale Ruffino and SIF Italia SpA2 '' and these '' formally confirmed their willingness to proceed with the appointment of a new administrative body of their own expression '' as well as '' expressed the willingness to intervene, if necessary, to allow the Company to fulfill its obligations towards the Revenue Agency referred to in the Press Release by 29 November 2022 ''.
