The outgoing president of
civil-service procurement agency CONSIP, Luigi Ferrara, is under
investigation for giving false information to prosecutors,
judicial sources said Sunday.
Ferrara, who tendered his resignation Saturday, is being
probed in connection with a leak that revealed police were
investigating suspected graft at CONSIP.
CONSIP CEO Lugi Marroni has accused Sports Minister Luca
Lotti of telling him there was an ongoing probe and allowing him
to sweep his office clean of bugs.
Lotti denies Marroni's claims.
The father of Democratic Party leader and ex-premier Matteo
Renzi, Tiziano, is also under investigation in the probe, for
suspected influence-peddling.
