Giovanni had stated that the company was getting back on its systematic path for fiscal resumption. Owing to the aftermath scenario of intense budget crunches, MV had to forcefully shut down its Varese factory, resulting in the unemployment of 200 people. The company also had to cut down on the capital which was being shelled out for R&D and racing division’s budgets.
