Banker Giampiero Fiorani intensely smiles at the camera while he is taken into custody.
What that smiles means, is obvious to anyone who knows how to read such a situation. The smile means: if I go down, you all go down with me.

Who 'you all' can be, we leave it to the readers' imagination.

Let's say he's not smiling to his own Bank's small unaware customers, whose savings were allegedly used to bribe a wide range of italian politicians. Who in turn illicitly protected the bank from the acquiring bids of the Dutch bank ABN AMRO.

Here the new story begins: qui comincia la novella storia. Where - obviously - nothing is new.
