Former CONSIP exec Marco Gasparri
told an investigating judge Monday that arrested Campania
businessman Alfredo Romeo gave him a 100,000-euro bribe in
exchange for advice and information on the civil service
procurement agency's tenders.
Gasparri is under investigation for corruption along with
Romeo, who has been detained since March 1.
Prosecutors may soon request a fast-track trial for both,
judicial sources said.
A probe into the allegedly illicitly obtained contracts of
Romeo is continuing to use the services of the NOE environmental
police even though a NOE captain, Giampaolo Scafarto, was placed
under investigation for falsely attributing an incriminating
phrase initially though to be about ex-premier Matteo Renzi's
father Tiziano, which turned out not to be true.
Tiziano Renzi is under investigation for alleged
influence-peddling in the probe, which has also placed Sports
Minister Luca Lotti under investigation for allegedly revealing
judicial secrets.
