One of Alfredo Romeo's lawyers said
Monday that, rather than being at the centre of alleged graft
involving CONSIP, the Campania businessman was actually
hard-done-to in contracts for civil-service procurement agency.
"Alfredo Romeo was not privileged with CONSIP, he was
marginalised," said lawyer Giovanni Battista Vignola.
"Forget about him being a corruptor. He was cheated many
times.
"In April Alfredo Romeo presented a complaint to CONSIP in
which his relations and the mechanism via which the tenders were
awarded were described. He was damaged by it".
Battista Vignola said that Italy's anti-trust and
anti-corruption agencies were informed of this complain when it
was filed.
He said it was forward to Naples prosecutors three months ago
and to Rome investigators three weeks ago.
