Carlo Sarro, a Forza Italia MP
named in a Mob investigation, has quit the Anti-Mafia
Commission, its chair Rosy Bindi said Wednesday.
Sarro submitted a letter of resignation, she said.
Sarro, a Lower House MP representing ex-premier Silvio
Berlusconi's FI, was earlier named in the probe into alleged
Camorra infiltration of public administration.
On Tuesday, Naples anti-mafia prosecutors sent the Lower
House a formal request that Sarro, 56, be put under house
arrest, ANSA sources said.
If parliament voted to lift his immunity, Sarro could face
charges of involvement in rigging a contract competition.
Sarro is under investigation along with businessmen Lorenzo
Piccolo and Antonio Fontana over a 31.7-million-euro contract
for sewer and water networks of the Gori Spa company, sources
said.
Investigators believe that the contract competition was
rigged to ensure that the work went to companies linked to
Michele Zagaria, the head of a notorious Camorra clan called the
Casalesis.
