are all good ones that you define good? According to Mario Giordano, Director of Open Studio, a former speaker of the cricket broadcasts Gad Lerner, it is better to go and check out what is behind many of the organizations and operations that are defined benefit. And it released a 220-page book, subtitled "fraud and lies hidden behind the solidarity", in which Jordan gives an overview of all these appeals to the goodness that make billions in the end it's not clear where to end up. Show GB said: "The rich do charity, but charity is the rich." Do you agree?

'A bit is a joke and a bit' is true. " You

denounces all charity? All of solidarity?

"No. Mine is a call to report things that do not work so it avvantaggino those who make the real benefit, and who are the majority."

rates to the scam is it?

"We say that a good half is false kindness."

Be aware of the good is that possible?

"The book ends with a humorous handbook. But there are at least two caveats: first, never give a penny to those who do not publish their financial statements. An association that does not publish its financial statements on the website does not deserve anything . Second, do not rush en masse to matters of great emotional impact. More than a hundred gathered for the earthquake in Molise are overkill. Or all run in Afghanistan and caring of children jumping on the mines in Mozambique. "

The most striking case of false vouchers?

"Obviously it was the Rainbow operation. The demonstration of how to hurt the good can be bad. Then there are also smaller but equally incredible stories. For example, one thousand and two hundred million pounds collected in the vials Baker for a little girl named Alice who had to operate in one lung and in fact that task was never done. A story that is just as bad of major scandals. "

The association has impressed you most?

"Overall, the Red Cross. Has in its recent past some huge flaws. Soldi collected for emergency measures for the earthquake in Irpinia in 1980 that twenty years later they were still there, deposited in the bank. Operations such as the singer Amii Stewart, ten concerts to raise money for Ethiopia and Eritrea, which closed with a loss of 17 million covered by removing money already earmarked for Africa. "

singers marching with us charity?

"In that case he gets Amii Stewart 119 million, plus all the free publicity to his record."

E Telethon?

"From what I understand is one of those initiatives that work less worse. Although there People there earn millions through the mechanism of copyright. Michele Watch, author of the transmission, he earns 153 thousand pounds per minute for a broadcast that lasts 30 hours.

Producing charity, however, has a cost.

"should cost around 20-30 percent. That is, every 100 pounds collected 70-80 and 20-30 should go to the organization benefited. UNICEF boasted to me of costing only 40 percent. It seems to me despicable. Around Italy and meeting small groups that cost even one percent ".

There is a chapter in your book also dedicated through eight per thousand.

" I find it unfair use images that say something different than the use you make money. The money they have legitimate uses but different from those advertised. Want to renovate the cathedral? Right. But do not ask for money on behalf of starving children in Angola. "

Maybe if you ask for money for the cathedrals, do not you give us.

" We have to learn to grow, mature and do not want to be considered illiterate charity.

What is the sum total that is collected each year in Italy for charity?

"a sum equal to the turnover of Telecom. At the global level is the GDP of a large country like Brazil. "

are more false" good "Catholics or secular ones?

"I come from the Catholic world, and then I'm sorry to admit that there is no difference. With the aggravating circumstance that the Catholics I would expect better behavior. If you think that what's behind Padre Pio!"

You write that a voluntary cost much more than a refugee.

"Where the Rainbow 6211 volunteers have cost 200 000 pounds each per day. The refugees have cost 38 000 pounds per day. For every 100 pounds paid to those who suffered will have been spent to keep 500 dell'antisofferenza professionals.

Lots of heart?

"The funds collected for the flood of Sarno are still stuck on the current accounts of the Bank of Naples. Those for the victims of the Linate are not finished with the relatives of victims of Linate, but for some reason, the professional sports clubs in Milan. A councilor Brandirali feat. And to think that the only survivor in need of care, not being dead, has not seen a penny. "

Many charities do to gain visibility. Despicable as those who are in it for them?

" Yes. If I use the human case to organize a party, a fashion show to exhibit a jewel of the house that I pay is the same thing. Gain is always ".

reading your book one gets the impression that you face lump when citi fair trade and Emergency. How do you put them on the same level of fraud and lies hidden behind the solidarity?

"I do not I put them on equal footing. It would be misleading. In case of Emergency I simply wanted to highlight the possible political use of the property warning people from possible exploitation." Emergency

does wonderful things.

"Sure. But I will limit myself to criticize when Gino Strada says that Bush is a terrorist like Bin Laden."

And fair trade?

"It 's another story yet. It', however, always an alarm bell that I want play. It is important to understand where there is voluntary and where there is pure business. But it is clear that there is nothing wrong if I manage to organize a home to me as a business. But it is another thing. Recent research is revealing that volunteering is declining. "

But, being a book of your complaint, you seem to put everything on the same floor.

" They throw stones into the pond hoping to cause as many waves. But every wave is different. "
