for the record: the last major of milan was, for lack of better word, "impeached" after it was found out her son had built an abusive "batcave".

The current governor of lombardia and the whole council is in a corruption and vote marketing scandal.

The head of the secessionist party for the last twenty years left his role after it was found out he and his son had been using the party as a revolver bank account.

And, noticeably, the Dear Leader Silvio Berlusconi is from milan.

There is a lot to say on the north vs south in italy, but saying "northern italy is not corrupted" is as silly as it gets.

Holy cow, the plot of Sin City (Politician's son builds a rape/torture chamber, and the son is protected from punishment because the politician wants him to produce an heir) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401792/) actually really happened in Milan?

ah I'm very sorry for the misunderstanding, no.

I meant abusive as in "abusive financial practices", a synonim for illegal (per merriam webster), not abusive as in "physical abuse".

Please excuse this non native speaker for making something look worse than it was :)
