Indagine su presunti fondi russi alla Lega A giugno del 2019, il sito statunitense Buzzfeed News ha pubblicato le intercettazioni ambientali di una riunione svoltasi all'hotel Metropol di Mosca il 18 ottobre 2018 fra alcuni esponenti della politica e del mondo degli affari, italiano e locali, per un presunto accumulo di fondi russi destinati a favore della Lega Nord.

La Procura di Milano ha inserito nel registro degli indagati, fra gli altri: Gianluca Savoini (ex portavoce di Salvini), il consulente bancario Francesco Vannucci e l'avvocato internazionalista Gianluca Meranda. https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2019/07/13/fondi-russi-alla-lega-lavvocato-ero-alla-riunione-allhotel-metropol-di-mosca-sara-convocato-dalla-procura-di-milano/5321745/ https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/albertonardelli/russians-matteo-salvini-metropol-meeting-italy-russia-oil https://milano.repubblica.it/cronaca/2019/10/02/news/il_magnate_russo_di_moscopoli_si_trattavano_-300895298/ https://milano.repubblica.it/cronaca/2019/10/03/news/moscopoli_fondi_russi_lega_respinta_richiesta_savoini_tribunale_riesame_milano-237609871/?ref=search https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jul/11/matteo-salvinis-party-under-investigation-for-alleged-russian-oil-deal

Background
Matteo Salvini, Secretary of Lega, advocate closer ties between Italy and Russia. He cheered Vladimir Putin many times during his political career, and he once wore a shirt with the face of Putin During one of his trips in Russia, he said ''«I feel at home here. In some European countries I don't. Here, I feel as safe as in my home»'' He supported Russia's annexation of Crimea citing the disputed referendum as a legitimate reason, dubbing the 2014 Ukraine revolution as a «pseudo-revolution funded by foreign powers» When he was the Minister of Interior, he was accused of banning the strike of the ISAB refinery employees in Priolo after a letter sent by the Ambassador of the Russian Embassy in Italy, Sergey Razov, urging him to do so. ISAB is part of the multinational Russian energy corporation Lukoil.

He minacciò to veto the renewal of the sanctions over Russia

On 6 March, 2017 Matteo Salvini and deputy Secretary-General of United Russia Sergei Zheleznyak - included in the sanctions list over Russia’s annexation of Crimea - signed a five-year cooperation deal between the two parties. In 2016, a similar agreement was signed between Heinz-Christian Strache's FPÖ and United Russia.

Il 6 marzo 2017 Matteo Salvini a Mosca siglava con (responsabile esteri di “Russia Unita”, il partito di Putin) un patto tra la Lega e Russia Unita. Era ed è l’unico caso di accordo scritto siglato da un partito politico italiano con un partito straniero

The scandal was first published by L'Espresso on 21 February, 2019, claiming that a meeting between

Salvini rejected any accusation of receiving funding from Kremlin-linked entities
