The Milan prosecutor's office has just concluded a long and complex investigation, which provides a devastating picture: respected and respected professors, research luminaries who maneuver millions of euros from public funds, private donations, collection of 5 per thousand, have been caught to "adjust" the documentation then published by the most prestigious international scientific journals. The professors investigated are Pier Paolo Di Fiore (from Ifom, the research center dedicated to the study of the formation and development of tumors at the molecular level), Alberto Mantovani (from Humanitas, the research and care institute of the Rocca family) , Pier Giuseppe Pelicci (from Ieo, the European Institute of Oncology founded by Umberto Veronesi), Marco Pierotti, Maria Angela Greco, Elena Tamburini and Silvana Pilotti (from the National Cancer Institute). They have maneuvered millionaire funding from the Ministry of Research, the Ministry of Health, the Higher Institute of Health, the CNR (National Research Council).
