Alongside @the_ins_ru and @BuzzFeedNews, we just published a new investigation into the travel of Gianluca Savoini, a close aide to Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini. Savoini made at least 14 visits to Moscow in 2018 alone.https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2019/08/08/commuting-to-moscow-lega-nords-pilgrimage-to-russia/ …
You may remember hearing about Gianluca Savoini from a recent @BuzzFeedNews' report, where Savoini was secretly recorded "negotiating the terms of a deal to covertly channel tens of millions of dollars of Russian oil money to Salvini’s Lega party."https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/albertonardelli/salvini-russia-oil-deal-secret-recording …
The recording of this secret meeting was on 18 October 2018 in the Metropol Hotel in Moscow. A fragment of the booking data for Savoini in 2018/9 between Italy and Moscow shows his flights leading up to and after this now-infamous meeting.pic.twitter.com/QhV0HAtT47
As @repubblica reported, Savoini also has met with Aleksandr Dugin in Rome a few weeks before the Metropol Hotel meeting.https://rep.repubblica.it/pwa/generale/2019/07/26/news/moscopoli_gianluca_savoini_matteo_salvini_metropol_de_russie_vannucci_meranda-232122927/ …
On October 17, the day before the Metropol Hotel meeting, Savoini was photographed with Dugin in Moscow.https://twitter.com/MartaAllevato/status/1052668083335294976?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw …
Savoini often traveled to Moscow with Claudio D'Amico, including in October 2018. D'Amico is a business partner of Savioni, and the two co-founded a consulting company in Moscow back in 2016. D'Amico is now a "strategic advisor on international affairs" for Deputy PM Salvini.pic.twitter.com/ZuQSaeecJx
Italian prosecutors are now investigating the proposed oil deal, and Gianluca Savoini is now under investigation for "international corruption".

In italiano e non più lungo di due righe, altrimenti l'italiano medio non capisce. Immagine d'effetto e slogan sarebbe perfetto. Se potete ritoccate il colore della pelle con il nero. Ah, se la Cuccarini non riprende la notizia significa che non è importante
Any relationship to Mr Bannon’s recent Italian sojourns I wonder?
So what's your point?
Fleshes out reporting by @StefanoVergine on Savoini’s role in Russian funding for the LN campaign, see e.g. interview in @NewEastEurope here:http://neweasterneurope.eu/2019/04/05/russian-fuel-for-salvinis-eu-election-campaign/ …
See also recent piece by @A_SHEKH0VTS0V drawing on Russian language sources, also mentioning Savoini connection, arguing that the LN‘s pro-Kremlin stance e.g. on sanctions is subordinated in practice to other interests closer to home: https://www.eurozine.com/do-they-deliver/ …
