The storm wind blows over the Aosta Alps. When at dawn the four Moors appear "carved" with paint strokes on the wall in front of the headquarters of a sort of "Aosta Valley Enel", in the hermitage of Chatillon , it becomes clear that that wind project in Sardinia didn't even go down. among the white peaks of the Aosta Valley. The investigation by L'Unione Sarda, « Schiaffo Valle d'Aosta, from the Alps to Monte Rughe », on the project of a wind farm, presented by the "public" electricity company managed by the Aosta Valley Region, on the borders of Montiferru with Marghine, between Pozzomaggiore and Sindia, it set "fire to the dust". Protests and political clashes, bright spotlights and new backgrounds to a "subspecies" of public affairs with many very private implications.

Secret cards

In this unlikely story, with an autonomous and special high-altitude region planning the landing of a mountain of wind turbines on the most peripheral island in Europe, also autonomous and special, there is everything and more . There is the disfigurement of the autonomy principle, which should produce at least a minimal mutual respect for the constitutional status of special Regions, there is the public business pursued on a par with the speculative logic of the worst wind multinationals, above all there is an implication business which has remained locked up until now in the secret papers of the notaries of Aosta.

There's time for the spray

There is time to talk about the political clash in the Regional Council of Valle d'Aosta where not everyone took kindly to the fact that the electricity company "owned" by the autonomous Region has decided to specialize in "air slicers" and golden incentives in Sardinia. There is time to talk about that protest " spray " sign complete with the Sardinian flag that appeared in recent days in front of the CVA headquarters in Chatillon , which the Palace's diligent painters had erased in record time. There is time to explain the project that the lords of the highest mountain in Italy want to create between Nuraghi and wonderful landscapes on the border between the lands burned by fire criminals and the oldest vestiges of the Nuragic Civilization of the Sardinian continent. However, the story of an underground and unknown business carried out between one notary and another, with shares of a few euros purchased with millions and millions of European currency, cannot wait. An operation that remained closed to the news, omitted in the institutional accounts of these last hours, hidden by a secrecy consumed by the specific phrase of the President of the Region who, in the face of the Sardinian disgrace, limited himself to saying that CVA, the company wholly owned by the institute public autonomy, acted in "full compliance with the regulations in force". The Aosta Valley president's appeal is for those State regulatory provisions which humiliate regional autonomies starting from the special ones, which trample on the rights, environmental and naturalistic heritage of a land as distant as it is genetically close to another Region imbued with autonomy and independence.

Hidden affairs

He calls them "current rules", but in reality they are nothing more than the disfigurement of a people's freedom to govern their territory, protecting it from public or private speculators who would like to devastate its landscape and deepest identity features. The denial arguments of the Sardinian Municipalities, of the Sardinia Region itself, of the environmental agencies were not enough for the President of the Valle d'Aosta Region, Renzo Testolin, to induce his electric "arm" to apologize and withdraw in good order.

Sold a month later

Who knows, however, what his fellow Aosta Valley citizens will think when they learn that L'Unione Sarda has revealed in this new investigation notarial contracts registered on 7 August 2023 at the Notary of the College of Aosta, Giampaolo Marcoz, and on 8 February 2023 2024 by Carlo Munafò, Notary in Saronno. All documents in our possession, unappealable evidence on a trail of money, de facto "public", belonging to a company "controlled" 100% by the Valle d'Aosta Region, transferred copiously in favor of a very modest private company, the "Ven . Sar srl”, owner of the shares of “Eos Monte Rughe”, declared then, and still today, as «inactive». A modest and anonymous limited liability company, established on 6 July 2023. A month and a day after its incorporation, the company from the Aosta Valley region purchased 49%. An inexplicable climb with many mysteries.

Weaves & blows

Dozens of names, known and unknown, behind a network of companies linked to each other. We certainly have to ask ourselves how it was possible for a public company, such as the electricity company of Valle d'Aosta, to reach Via Antonio Scano, at number 6, in Cagliari to begin the takeover of an "inactive" company. with just ten thousand euros of capital. For what reason? Why that one? And above all, at what price did they buy that inactive provincial company, anonymous and without a shred of project presented, much less approved? It is certain that the first operation will take place on 7 August 2023: resignation of the administrator of "Eos Monte Rughe", a certain Alessandro Reali.

The first purchase

It is he who communicates to himself and to the "Notary in Aosta" that his resignation is linked to the simultaneous acquisition of the majority of the company's shares by CVA Eos, the electricity company of the Valle d'Aosta Region. In the notarial deed that transfer of shares, 51%, does not have a declared price. Evidently left to shareholder documents not attached to the meeting recording the change of hands. The crucial step is revealed in the notarial deed signed in Milan on February 8th. The company “Ven.Sar. srl”, which still owns 49%, sells a further 19%, equal to a paltry 1,900 euros of share capital.

Stratospheric capital gain

The cost of sale, however, is unparalleled: « The parties declare and acknowledge that the agreed price for the sale of the entire share is Euro 3,990,000 (three million nine hundred and ninety thousand point zero zero) (“Price”), paid in today's date from the Buyer (the company of the Valle d'Aosta Region to the Seller (Ven. Sar.srl), by bank transfer ". A share of 1,900 euros of an "inactive" company sold, and bought, for almost 4 million of euros: a stratospheric capital gain, unprecedented in the stock markets, paid entirely with public money, that of the regional company of the Aosta Valley. But if the diligent administrators of the Aosta Valley company paid the sum of almost four million for 19%. that share capital, how much did they pay for the 70% package that ended up in their hands? And above all, who guaranteed them that that "crazy" project in the land of Sardinia will ever be approved. Mysteries for now still hidden on the snow-capped peaks of the Alps which lead to millionaire deals on Montiferru.
