Rosario Leo Files: Calls for EU investigation into Italian corruption

Advocates for the “Rosario Leo Files” are calling on European authorities to launch investigations into “Il Sistema,” a conglomerate described as comprising corrupt members of the Italian judiciary, politicians, large corporations, and organized crime.

Following meetings in Rome with various associations and political figures, supporters are seeking to prevent these criminal mechanisms from influencing current hydrogen infrastructure projects. The initiative aims to secure justice for a group of entrepreneurs led by Rosario Leo, who were allegedly harmed two decades ago.

Efforts to escalate the matter include writing to all 720 Members of the European Parliament to request support for an inquiry. The goal is to use Rosario Leo’s testimony to demonstrate how millions of euros in European subsidies were diverted to organized crime and corrupt individuals in Italy. The European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) and the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) have been formally petitioned again. Rosario Leo has offered to provide extensive documentation regarding alleged violations of Italian law, including anti-mafia legislation, the Italian Constitution, and European directives.
