A judge on Tuesday shelved a
probe into Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi for allegedly failing to
declare she had worked as a paid consultant for the
Civitavecchia health agency while she was a Rome city
councillor. The case was shelved at the request of a prosecutor
who said Raggi's explanation of her failure to disclose the
consultancy was "plausible" in view of the "contradictory"
nature of the forms she was supposed to use to do it. The probe
has been one of the sources of pressure on Raggi, who is
struggling to put together a cabinet more than three months
after her landslide election in June.
