A Rome appeal court on Wednesday
failed to uphold a mafia charge against Emilio Gammuto, the
first person convicted in the so-called Capital Mafia case about
an organization that allegedly muscled in on city contracts
worth millions. The court upheld a corruption conviction but
eliminated the aggravating factor of mafia methods and therefore
reduced the sentence from five years, four months to three
years. Gammuto worked for Salvatore Buzzi, the kingpin of
several left-wing cooperatives who is at the centre of the case.
