Quando la mazzetta era "normale": Vi presento il Sistema Milano

Long Hands. Episode #3 Milan, April 1992. What seemed like a one-off investigation into a "rogue"—the arrest of Mario Chiesa at the Pio Albergo Trivulzio—escalates in just a few days into an unstoppable avalanche. The election brakes have fallen, and the Milan prosecutor's office is moving at full speed: the first mass arrests begin, major construction companies raise the white flag, and the Clean Hands Pool is officially formed with Di Pietro, Colombo, and Davigo. In this third episode, Peter Gomez takes us inside the hidden mechanisms of the "Milan System": from fixed percentages on subway contracts (the Natali Award) to secret accounts in Switzerland, to the dense web of cover-ups that tightly linked politics, big business, and even the media. We discover the truth about the political party "cashiers," the anthropological difference between bribe-takers, and the day when even the American secret services wanted to know when Bettino Craxi would emerge. It's no longer the story of a single crime. It's the story of a system that treated corruption as normal as "a Christmas cake."
