Things you won't find elsewhere: sex at 16, knives, and flyers

Forgive the short prologue. This week, some of you may have seenobscene flyers around Milan insulting and denigrating the newspaper and a journalist from Dossier, Alfredo Faieta (who often covers construction investigations). We don't know who did it, though we have some suspicions. The Finance Police are looking into it. There are many ways to disagree with an article: comment, request the sacrosanct right of reply, send an email, call, or consult a lawyer. There are many civil rights debates. But printing vulgar, anonymous leaflets, while hiding behind cowardly facades, defines the perpetrator's lowliness. End of prologue.
This week is packed with investigations, in-depth features, and exclusives ( if you have ideas, suggestions, or reports of interesting stories, use this form : we'll read everything). Let's start here.
The manager stabbedA gruesome episode has dominated the news in recent days. A young woman, a Finlombarda official, was stabbed in the back completely at random by a former psychiatric patient in Gae Aulenti. She is miraculously out of danger. The gruesome video of the attack was released by the Carabinieri while they were searching for the man. With Valentina Rigano, we reflect on the (often) inability to ensure continuity of treatment and post-facility supervision for psychiatric offenders. And this can create real security gaps, where the fate of potential recidivists is left to chance. Numbers, waiting lists, and how the system works: what the experts told us.
Coca-Cola deliveryWith Alessandro Gemme, we delve into the world of delivery in Milan. We're not talking about Just Eat or Glovo. We're talking about cocaine. The 'snow' now runs on WhatsApp: a pusher earns up to €7,000 a week. Clients are established professionals: lawyers, chefs, real estate agents, designers, wealthy tourists. The new drug dealing market is digital, and drugs are ordered via app. A "cavallino" (a small horse) earns up to €30,000 a month. But it's a very dangerous game. The police monitor the pushers' every move: here are all the mechanisms of the system .
The WestfieldNovella Gianfranceschi tells us about the Westfield megamall , announced with great fanfare years ago but never built. But perhaps something is moving. The construction site, just steps from Linate, is expected to reopen as part of the project for the new Milan Porta Est hub. Meanwhile, work is progressing on the Cassanese bis, a €178 million road financed as a compensation project for the gigantic shopping center. In the article , you'll find all the latest updates and what the Franco-Dutch giant has to say.
Still VoltaikoMarialaura Iazzetti, after uncovering the Voltaiko case, returns to the investigation. Nine people are under investigation in the photovoltaic panel scam, in addition to lawyer Francesco Bombace. A Swiss company, Demetra Invest SA, is also mentioned in the prosecutor's documents. The victims are demanding explanations regarding the surety bonds. This in-depth article discusses what is known so far .
Campari and the seized sharesIt's not a great time for the Milanese giant Campari either. With Alfredo Faieta, we analyze the reasons that led the Garavoglia family to take Lagfin-Campari out of Italy. The seizure of €1.3 billion in shares of the spirits group reveals the background and reasons for the reorganization. The closeness to financier Daniele Migani, under investigation by the Milan prosecutor's office for fraud, also emerges.
The boom of the pet economyMilan's pet economy, on the other hand, is doing very well. Arcaplanet, Giulius, Dog Heroes. And many others. Pet businesses are booming. Those dedicated to animal services and well-being are on the rise: in the city, there's a boutique that hosts dogs in living rooms furnished with glass, sofas, and TVs. Food customization is also growing. All the winning ideas in the sector today. Elisa Cornegliani tells us about them .
The luxury “escorts”Irene Fassini delves into the world of " wingwomen," who accompany businessmen to dinners, weekends, and events. They earn up to €700 an hour, or €3,000 for a day trip. There are several platforms that match supply and demand, but it's not always clear what they offer. "Ultimately, they want an escort," one woman tells us. How the business works and the huge business it generates.
Sex and Disease at 16And, unfortunately, adolescents are approaching the world of sex too early, without any preparation or information. HIV, chlamydia, and syphilis infections are on the rise among children under 16. Gonorrhea infections in Milan have risen 300% in the space of two years. Young people are experiencing sexuality at an ever younger age, but they're unaware of the risks. Experts interviewed by Marialaura Iazzetti and Fassini discuss the most dangerous conditions and what can be done.
