The bank failed in the capital inspection by the Single Supervisory Mechanism in 2014. During the year the number of ordinary shares was increased from 2,174,664,623 to 10,167,553,157. The new shares made the bank recapitalized €779,288,853.4. The foundation only partly subscribed the capital increases that were allowed to them, with the rest was excised by borrowing money from Mediobanca (additional 7.037%). After the deal the foundation owned 12.142% ordinary shares of the bank (1,234,561,214), comparing to 46.52% in 2013 (1,011,689,946).[2][3][4]

Controversies

In 2014, La Repubblica Genoa edition reported that, the foundation had purchased a helicopter which was rarely used. Before the helicopter was donated to the Liguria Region, it was rarely used by the firemen of Genoa, which the foundation lent it to them.[7]

gollark: You see, it is said "oh, if you use a 144Hz/240Hz/5PHz/2K/4K/10000/GSync monitor you'll never want to go back", and "oh, it's totally noticeable immediately", which means if I'm ever exposed to one I'll realise that every moment of entertainment I got from my old monitor was but a farce.
gollark: Unless I see a 144Hz monitor and immediately become forced to use one forever.
gollark: I'm hoping iGPUs will get good enough in a few years for my GPU to become unnecessary.
gollark: Practically you need a GPU, if just a minimal one, but you don't need a graphics card. My CPU has no iGPU, you see.
gollark: GPU != graphics card.
