Rome prosecutors have opened an
investigation into possible wrongdoing at the city's ATAC public
transport company, sources said Monday.
The probe into ATAC tenders was sparked by a report to the
National Anti-Corruption Authority (ANAC) by the former city
councillor for transportation, Stefano Esposito.
In his report, Esposito said 90% of ATAC tenders worth one
billion euros were made without a public offer in 2011-2015.
Prosecutors will also be looking in to chronic dysfunction
in the Rome public transport system, including numerous strikes
and work-to-rule actions by disgruntled workers and several
mechanical breakdowns on the city subway system.
