I have found only tangential (he) refferences to this issue in the searcher, but apologies if this has been asked before.

So, what if Mario Chiesa is never caught in flagrante delicto or he doesn't confess and Tangentopoli never reveals the depth of the corruption in italian politics at the time. Could this state of things stays "forever" before everything finally explodes? What role could have played Betino Craxi in the italian political scene? Would this prevent the rise of Berlusconi as a central political figure? Would Italy simply have the same pre-mani pulite political dynamics in 2011 in this scenario?

Cheers.
