Former Val d'Aosta governor
Augusto Rollandin on Thursday got four and a half years in jail
for corruption.
Rollandin, currently a regional councillor for the Union
Valdotaine, was sentenced after a fast-track trial in which the
prosecutor had requested six years.
Proceedings will now be set in motion to suspend him as
councillor.
Rollandin was among seven people probed in an investigation
into alleged corruption involving companies the regional
administration has stakes in.
Rollandin was accused of criminal association along with
former manager Gabriele Accornero and businessman Gerardo Cuomo.
The case regarded alleged bid rigging and misappropriation.
