Prima Comunicazione reports Angelucci on Agi

Prima Comunicazione reports Angelucci on Agi

The criticisms of the director of Prima Comunicazione , Alessandra Ravetta, of the Agi-Angelucci operation.

(From the Prima Comunicazione website )

“It's too early to talk about conflict of interest.” Giorgetti responded to the doubts raised by those who spoke of a conflict of interest that the agreement would bring with it. But, after the communications made by Agi and Eni, according to the Minister of Economy the topic is "a non-current question".

WHAT GIORGETTI SAYS ABOUT AGI AND ANGELUCCI

It is impressive that an intelligent person and a shrewd minister like Giancarlo Giorgetti , owner of the Mef, in the face of the findings and objections received from the editorial committee, members of parliament and representatives of civil society on the anomaly of the sale of Agi , one of the first information agencies, to the Angelucci family, you deflect and deny the evidence of a problem that also directly affects him as a big shot of the League.

WHO IS ANTONIO ANGELUCCI

Antonio Angelucci, at the center of the matter, is a deputy of his own party and above all an important healthcare entrepreneur with the San Raffaele Spa group, controlled by Tosinvest, with which the minister indirectly finds himself having to deal when he has to spend the billions disbursed from the National Health Service of which San Raffaele Spa itself is a great beneficiary.

THE HEALTHCARE EMPIRE OF THE ANGELUCCI GROUP

Nothing to say about San Raffaele Spa: 24 structures spread across the center and south, as can be seen from the map we are publishing. An "integrated care network that ranges from rehabilitation to social assistance, from long-term care to hospices, with an important focus on cardiovascular, respiratory, neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's), developmental disabilities with fundamental support, however concerns the diagnostic activity of the network of specialist clinics which make use of the most cutting-edge equipment" and which counts on the "availability of over 4,000 beds and the assistance of 3,000 health professionals", as stated on the SanRaffaele.it website . Where it is elaborated that "all the Group's structures are part of the Institute of Scientific Hospitalization and Care, IRCCS San Raffaele, a national point of reference in the field of motor and sensory rehabilitation".

Such a healthcare giant needs to have good relations with national politics, on which the funding system and the rules for managing relationships with public and private healthcare and hospital facilities, and with the Regions, which provide funding, depend .

Furthermore there is the management of the dense network of agreements with the main insurance companies, supplementary health funds, mutual funds and also with institutions and ministries. Even the Prime Minister's Office to provide benefits to thousands of employees.

A system that concerns all competitors, where San Raffaele can perhaps play a privileged match with Antonio Angelucci, member of parliament since 2008, four times member of parliament for the XVI, XVII, XVIII and XIX legislatures in the lists of Il Popolo della Libertà, Forza Italy and the League.

What has been listed so far is known to everyone, even to Minister Giorgetti who does not understand why he does not see conflicts of interest between MP Angelucci, his Tosinvest, very important ministries and institutions such as those linked to healthcare, involved in billion-dollar financing which also concerns the Pnrr.

ANGELUCCI'S INVESTMENTS IN PUBLISHING

Angelucci has been investing in newspapers for more than twenty years: Libero in 2001, Il reformista in 2003 (sold in 2019 to Alfredo Romeo), Il Corriere dell'Umbria 2016 (now sold, keeping only the Viterbo and Rieti editions), Il Tempo in 2016, and il Giornale in 2023.

All publishing companies with budgets that are always in the red, but whose publications are influential in the relevant markets, and are now very aligned with the right-center government.

An editorial history that has never aroused severe criticism for conflicts of interest, because it was thought that, all things considered, they were newspapers of little importance. Which is not true if you evaluate the target audience.

To understand what Tempo is worth in Rome, just ask Nicola Zingaretti, who was under fire from the newspaper when he was president of the Lazio Region (where Angelucci has the largest number of structures).

It is not clear what the project is behind the purchase of Agi, which they say will bring added value to Tosinvest's publishing system.

It seems so bizarre that the only interpretation is political. Give the Meloni government another voice. As if what he already has weren't enough
