00:00Cortina bracing itself to co-host the 2020
00:0526 Winter Olympics alongside Milan.
00:08But the construction has...
00:10...be marred by corruption and spiralling budgets.
00:15School teacher and regional activist Pierre-Mario Fop shows us local media...
00:20...reports of mafia figures who've been convicted of corruption.
00:25According to him, there has been so little transparency around how subcontracts...
00:30...were handed out.
00:31Pierre-Mario believes the known corruption is only the...
00:35...in the tip of the iceberg.
00:37Inside the folds of these subcontracts...
00:40...that are many knots.
00:41We are talking about hundreds of companies working on the...
00:45...the early Olympics where there may be many more hidden forms of organised crime...
00:49...and mafia information.
00:50...in the infiltration of the criminalisation.
00:53Cortina is hosting the Alpine...
00:55...in skiing, curling, sliding and the ski jumping.
00:58The Mayor of Cortina...
01:00...insists that corruption has been limited and dealt with appropriately.
01:05We are calm about this issue...
01:07...and we are also very satisfied with the...
01:10...and controlled by the court of auditors.
01:12Those who are responsible for doing the anti-correct...
01:15...orruption work because this has helped us to keep mafia infiltration.
01:20...out of these projects.
01:22According to Open Olympics 2020...
01:25...the total bill for the games is over $5.7 billion.
01:30Nearly $40 million of that spent on one Olympic village.
01:35...built about five kilometres north of Cortina...
01:38...huts which will be difficult to...
01:40...to repurpose in this location thereafter.
01:43And the cost of the complete re...
01:45...new build of the historic sliding centre...
01:47...has more than quadrupled during construction.
01:50...exact figures aren't published though.
01:53And that's a real concern for any...
01:55...if you don't make it public...
01:57...if you don't make it public...
02:00...maybe you have something to hide...
02:02...I don't know...
02:03...I hope not...
02:04...but this...
02:05...the Olympic Games...
02:06...that was the first one presented...
02:09...as this most...
02:10...sustainable...
02:11...needed...
02:12...to have this transparency.
02:14Around...
02:15...4 billion euros...
02:16...is reportedly being spent...
02:18...in Italy...
02:19...for public works...
02:20...because of the Olympics.
02:21New road and tunnel projects...
02:23...up to the mountain...
02:24...are due to...
02:25...be completed...
02:26...after the games take place.
02:28Here at this Cortina...
02:30...their ski rental shop...
02:31...they're expecting...
02:32...a 50% drop in business...
02:34...this year.
02:35...while the athletes...
02:36...take over the piece.
02:37It's owner...
02:39...is positive though.
02:40...and thinks...
02:41...the construction...
02:42...has been handled...
02:43...well overall.
02:44I believe Cortina...
02:45...is going to change...
02:46...completely.
02:47Now we have to be...
02:48...smart...
02:49...like in everything.
02:50...no pain...
02:51...no gain.
02:52Despite the concerns...
02:53...around transparency...
02:54...and corruption...
02:55...there is a sense of excitement...
02:56...here in Cortina...
02:57...for the arrival of the games.
