“1992”. For many of you it’s just a number, or more likely, a year. What happened? Probably you’re thinking about the separation of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, or that John Major was Prime Minister, or even Britain’s infamous currency crash. But during 1992, in another EU nation, a crisis was brewing - the year when Italy became aware of the corruption inside her political world and, moreover, the year when the biggest political scandal in history came to light. On the left: Antonio Di Pietro, Gherardo Colombo and Francesco Saverio Borrelli. “ Mani Pulite ” (literally “clean hands”), better known as Tangentopoli, was an investigation that, before it was over, would see many influential members of Italy’s political and industrial spheres imprisoned for the first (and not the last) time. Everything started on the 17th of February, when Antonio Di Pietro, the prosecutor who started the investigations, arrested Mario Chiesa, a member of the PSI (Italian S...
