The Court of Auditors rejects the loan to Reithera. The latest failure of Arcuri

The Court of Auditors rejected the funding of the experimental coronavirus vaccine developed by the biotechnology company ReiThera, based in Castel Romano. The trial involved an investment of 81 million euros, partly provided by the state and partly by the company itself. The vaccine has completed two out of three phases of the trial, and the release of funds by the Court of Auditors was expected to proceed with the last phase, even if several doubts had recently arisen on the conduct of the second phase.

The Court announced in a note that it had denied its approval on the decree approving the agreement signed on February 17, 2021 by the Ministry of Economic Development, by Invitalia (the public agency for the attraction of investments and business development) and from Reithera, aimed at supporting the vaccine development program. The decree provided for the Italian state to make 50 million euros available for financing, of which 41 million as a grant and the rest as a subsidized fund. In the end, a large part of the funding was paid by the state.

Who is still in charge of Invitalia today? Simple, Domenico Arcuri. the ReiThera disaster, the rejection of funding, the mystery of the "Phase 2" of the experiment, in which Spallanzani denies having taken part.

Naturally Arcuri remains firmly attached to Invitalia, despite everything, and this raises a question: Who is protecting him? Is the group behind “Il Fatto Quotidiano”, your sponsor, that strong, despite everything? Ah, what beautiful unanswered questions.
