  ## Bankruptcy
  
  Siri established MediaItalia in 2002 with two minority shareholders, Ciro Pesce and Fabrizio Milan. The company produced editorial content for media and corporations, but by 2005 it had accumulated debts of over €1m. However, Siri and his partners transferred the assets to another company, Mafea Communication, without paying even one euro. Siri then appointed Maria Nancy Marte Miniel, a wig-seller, as liquidator.
