The agency's involvement in the Prisma investigation, opened by the Turin prosecutor's office for false accounting, and the latest complaints from the Consob, which led to the review of the budget project to be approved and the postponement of the shareholders' meeting (now set for the December 27) led to the unanimous decision to step back.
