Audit Court prosecutors have
requested depositions from the superintendent of the Royal
Palace of Caserta and three managers at the Campania land
registry, sources said Thursday.
Superintendent Paola Raffaella David and the other
officials have 30 days to give statements as to why
superintendency staffers and their relatives are being allowed
to rent 15 residential units within the Royal Palace complex at
low rates, causing taxpayers estimated losses of 1.2 million
euros.
Finance police discovered the staffers paid as little as
three to 145 euros a month to live in the former seat of the
Bourbon monarchy built in the 18th century, a UNESCO World
Heritage site since 1997.
They had access to the Royal Palace parks, and their water
consumption was being paid for by the superintendency.
