Ex-premier Massimo D'Alema said
Wednesday that he would collaborate with magistrates but had
nothing to say in relation to a bribes probe into public
contracts on the Bay of Naples island of Ischia.
"I am always available to justice authorities. Sincerely, I
have nothing to say. What I had to say, I have already told
newspapers, but there was no particular secret," D'Alema said
regarding the possibility that prosecutors may want to question
him as a person informed of facts regarding alleged bribes for
public contracts on Ischia.
"If they felt, however, the need to hear me, I will always
be at the disposal of justice authorities under any
circumstances," D'Alema added, speaking to reporters on the
sidelines of a meeting held in Bari.
"This has happened several times (with me) as a witness".
"Sometimes, I have been a suspect and later acquitted,
perhaps after an extended period of time. And it has always been
to legal means that I have turned, because fortunately they
permit applying the law against those who have committed abuses
in its regard," D'Alema added.
