Segnalo l’articolo Italy’s bank scandal del Financial Times.
Alcuni estratti:
[…] should be a healthy shock to a system that has far to go in rooting out corruption and ensuring international standards of transparency and good governance.
[…] The magistrates’ action also shows up the weakness of the Italian government in taking decisive action to tighten financial market regulation. A bill to that effect, drafted by Giulio Tremonti, the finance minister, after the Parmalat scandal two years ago, has yet to be passed by the Italian parliament. In the US it took just six months for the Sarbanes-Oxley legislation to be passed by Congress after the Enron bankruptcy. But the Italian law, which would also limit the term in office of a central bank governor, has been caught up in a backlog of legislation because of new bills being rushed through by Silvio Berlusconi, the prime minister, before elections next spring.
Mr Berlusconi has been more concerned to pass a new law re-introducing proportional representation, approved this week, and likely to favour his own centre-right coalition in the poll. Reviving confidence in the Italian financial system should have been a much higher priority.
