Italian term or phrase: ‘fondatori alla Tanzi’
Rubano le BANCHE, le ASSICURAZIONI, le GRANDI AZIENDE (soprattutto quelle guidate da sporchi finanzieri alla Cragnotti maniera, ma anche da ‘fondatori alla Tanzi’).

From a newspaper article that is titled "Italia: paese di LADRI, TRUFFATORI e SFRUTTATORI ?"

Explanation:
this is a bit wordy but maybe there's no way round that.

I think it's wise to assume that the anglophone reader may not know who Tanzi is/was. Hence the Parmalat.
