The Italian navy has denied all
allegations contained in an anonymous report published by media
on Tuesday accusing chief of staff Admiral Giuseppe De Giorgi of
"crazy spending and parties" on a ship he commanded, private use
of a navy jet, the transfer and removal of officers who opposed
his requests and other allegedly illicit conduct.
"The facts contained in the anonymous dossier that has
appeared in the press...are totally non-existent," the navy said
in a statement.
The dossier was allegedly sent to prosecutors in Potenza,
where De Giorgi is under investigation in relation to a southern
Italian oil probe into alleged waste trafficking and graft.
The report was also sent to the military prosecutor's
office, the government and other recipients.
