Seventeen Rome officials and
businessmen risk being indicted for kickbacks in exchange for
maintenance contracts for Roma people camps in the nation's
capital, sources said Tuesday.
The investigation closed today - in Italy, usually a
prelude to indictment. One of the persons of interest is ex-City
Hall official Emanuela Salvatori, who has been sentenced to four
years in a parallel Capital Mafia case involving a ring of
gangsters, businessmen and politicians that muscled in on
lucrative city contracts.
The prosecution says the 17 suspects engaged in corruption,
forgery, and bid-tampering in 2013 and 2014, in connection with
three Roma people camps at Castel Romano, on Via Cesare
Lombroso, and Via Salone.
The list of suspects includes entrepreneurs Roberto
Chierici, Massimo Colangelo, Loris Talone and Salvatore Di
Maggio, ex-employees of the city's social policies department,
Alessandra Morgillo and Vito Fulco, and traffic cop Eliseo De
Luca.
