Lawyers representing jailed
former Veneto governor Giancarlo Galan presented a plea bargain
request to prosecutors in Venice for his alleged role in
corruption linked to the MOSE flood-protection system, officials
said Wednesday.
The ex-Veneto governor's lawyers asked for a plea bargain
for a 34-month sentence and 2.6 million euros fine.
Lawyers also requested house arrest, which is expected to
be granted later Wednesday.
The center-right Forza Italia (FI) MP and former two-time
Berlusconi government minister was arrested in July on suspicion
of corruption in the multi-billion-euro MOSE flood-prevention
system in Venice.
He is currently being held in Opera prison outside Milan.
