Michele Folletti

Michele Folletti is the mayor of Lugano in This Swiss city wants to become the bitcoin capital of Europe, where he defends the city’s [[LuganoPlanB|Plan B]] Bitcoin push against concerns that the city could attract criminal money. His argument is comparative: he says mafia groups are more interested in fiat money laundering and that cash is the most anonymous form of money.

For the wiki, Folletti’s role is to connect Municipal Bitcoin Adoption with Virtual Asset AML Risk and Crypto Public Legitimacy. The source does not establish his claim as an independent compliance finding; it records it as the mayor’s defense of Bitcoin adoption in a city trying to build a crypto cluster.
