An attorney for the Region of
Lombardy on Thursday asked a Milan court to make former Lombardy
governor Roberto Formigoni pay 5.6 million euros' worth in
damages to the region, ANSA sources said.
Formigoni is on trial for suspected conspiracy and
corruption linked to the Pavia-based Maugeri health-care
foundation.
Trial prosecutors have asked that Formigoni be sentenced to
nine years in prison.
The region's lawyer, Domenico Aiello, on Thursday said the
trial has established three different deals as the "price" of
the suspected corruption allegedly committed by Formigoni: 3.7
million euros for the use of boats provided by a deal-fixer
named Pierangelo Daccò; a 1.3-million-euro discount on the
purchase of a Sardinian villa that once belonged to Daccò; and a
deal with money "paid in cash to which 600,000 euros were added
to finance an electoral campaign and buy tickets".
Aiello also asked judges to award damages "linked to the
profit of the crimes" and "image damage" (for which he didn't
specify amounts), as well as the allocation of funds already
under preventative seizure "so that a part of that money is
reintegrated into public service".
