		During the same period, a crowd of 40,000 Italians gathered recently in Milan to remember the 10th anniversary of Tangentopoli (Bribesville) - an astonishing revelation of corruption in Italian politics.
		Tangentopoli is the key to understanding the type of system which later brought shame on such European politicians as François Mitterand, Helmut Kohl, and Jacques Chirac.
		Yes, there is a common impression in Italy that the systematic corruption that led the country into Tangentopoli is greatly diminished.

	Tangentopoli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bettino Craxi, viewed by many as the symbol of Tangentopoli, leader of the Italian Socialist Party, is greeted by a salvo of coins as a sign of loath by protesters contesting him.
		Tangentopoli (Italian for bribeville) was the name used to indicate the corruption-based system that dominated Italy until the Mani pulite investigation delivered it a deadly blow in 1992.
		Licio Gelli, the infamous headmaster of Propaganda Due (aka "P2") outlawed masonic lodge, was a main character of this scandal, as of the Banco Ambrosiano krach scandal and the Gladio NATO clandestine structure, which engaged itself in domestic terror during Italy's strategy of tension in the 1970s-80s.

	Antonio Di Pietro English: Interview about Tangentopoli Archives
		But however, it’s necessary to repeat that the principles of honesty and the respect for the law are the source of gain and development within a State that is democratic, free and solid.
		Tangentopoli was to put the magistrates in a position of being accused.
		I really believe that his was a sudden and desperate action by a gambler who realised that he had lost the final game and who felt he had arrived at the end of the road.

	Station Information - Tangentopoli
		Tangentopoli (Italian for bribe city) was a nationwide Italian police investigation into political corruption.

		Tangentopoli quietly died, after what felt like a revolution for Italian politics.

	[A-List] Italy: Berlusconi moves against judiciary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Tangentopoli, or "Bribesville", as the investigations centred on Milan became known, exposed a massive nexus of corruption linking politicians, bureaucrats and businessmen that was robbing the exchequer of billions of dollars every year.
		One principal loser was the Socialist party leader and former prime minister Bettino Craxi, a close friend and patron of Mr Berlusconi, who was convicted of corruption in absentia and died in exile in Tunisia.
		But yesterday members of his party used their majority to insist that a parliamentary commission of inquiry will investigate "any disparity in treatment, any incompleteness or lacunae or omissions" in the work of the Tangentopoli magistrates, "to see if there is any correlation with the pursuit of objectives of a political or ideological nature".

	Guardian \| Italy's corrupt elite are reborn as victims in rewriting of 90s scandal
		The capital of Lombardy was renamed Tangentopoli, or Bribesville.
		It is probably the last gasp of the at tack on Tangentopoli, because this case, like all the others against Mr Berlusconi, will almost certainly fail.
		The legacy of Tangentopoli appeared to crackle in October when the government said its leader in the coming general election would be the Rome mayor, Francesco Rutelli, rather than the prime minister, Mr Amato, who is tarnished by association with Craxi.

		Outside Italy, the investigators were emulated by magistrates in Spain and France, with lesser but still important results and, it can be argued, they contributed to a new sensitivity to corruption across Europe that led in time to changes in other countries, such as Germany.
		The hopes raised by the Tangentopoli revolution were not simply to do with cutting corruption in Italy but with the prospect of a more honest politics, not only in the monetary sense, everywhere in Europe.
		Tangentopoli seemed one of the elements in a general process of renewal in both east and west.

	Talk:Roberto Formigoni - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first name regards a team of milanese judges, the second identifies a bad bribery habit that is unfortunately traditional to Italy ("Tangente" is the price of the bribery).
		In a word, they were - and are - discussed, in the sense that a unanimous approval of their behaviour is yet to be achieved, at any level of observation.
		But, please consider the hypothesis that to be really neutral, one perhaps would not start by the consideration that those judges were the paladins of correctness and honesty and all the other folks were terrific criminals.

		Tangentopoli caused not only the total collapse and disbandment of the ruling Christian Democrats, but suicides such as that of Raul Gardini, an industrialist who had led an Italian sailing bid for the America's Cup.
		Tangentopoli resulted in prison sentences for ministers and businessmen alike, and the death in exile of Berlusconi's most valuable political ally, Prime Minister and Socialist Party leader Bettino Craxi.
		Berlusconi dismisses Tangentopoli as a leftist inspired "judicial coup." Regrettably this is not the worst historical rewrite his government is now involved in; he seems to think that historians have perhaps been too hasty in condemning fascism itself.
