Rome prosecutors on Thursday
requested the indictment of 17 people - mainly council officials
and businessmen - in connection with alleged kickbacks on work
in Roma camps in Rome. The probe runs parallel withe the
sprawling Capital Mafia case in which a gang of criminals,
officials and businessmen muscled in on city contracts. Among
those risking trial is Emanuela Salvatori, a city council
employee already sentenced to four years in jail for corruption
offences linked to Capital Mafia kingpin Salvatore Buzzi. The
alleged crimes including corruption, fraud and contract-rigging
took place between the end of 2013 and March 2014, judicial
sources said. Among those under investigation, as well as
Salvatori, are coop businessmen Roberto Chierici, Massimo
Colangelo, Loris Talone and Salvatore di Maggio, Rome council
officials Alessandra Morgillo and Vito Fulco, and traffic warden
Eliseo De Luca.
