While he’s often remembered for his loud-mouthed style, the real story is how his movement collapsed under the weight of a 2012 financial scandal involving his family. From a separatist dreamer to a man whose party still owes the state €49 million, Bossi's life explains the DNA of modern Italian populists like Matteo Salvini and Giorgia Meloni.

This report breaks down where the money is going and looks at the history the standard socialist analysis often skips.
