Former Rome Mayor Ignazio Marino
was careless but did not commit any crime over more than 50
dinners paid for with a city credit card for which he was
acquitted in October, according to a judge's sentence released
Monday. "It appears clear that possible mistakes...have no penal
relevance but are a sign of a system marked by imprecision and
superficiality," said preliminary hearings judge Pierluigi
Balestrieri over the 56 dinners billed to the city. Marino, who
resigned in 2015 amid an expenses scandal, was acquitted
of embezzlement, fraud and forgery on October 7. Prosecutors had
requested a prison sentence of three years four months.
