The Genoa appeals court on
Monday upheld a one year, 10 month term for former Northern
League leader Umberto Bossi and a three year nine month term for
ex-treasurer Francesco Belsito in a party funding fraud case.
Also upheld was the seizure of 49 million euros from the
coffers of the Northern League's successor, the League.
On September 18 lawyers representing the League agreed on an
arrangement with prosecutors for the seizure of party funds
related to the convictions for fraud.
Under the arrangement, 100,000 euros will be confiscated
every two months for a total of 600,000 euros a year.
