The Northern League's eight
councillors for the northern town of Seregno, near Monza, are
set to quit following a probe into alleged infiltration of the
local business and political world by the 'Ndrangheta mafia,
sources said Thursday.
Among them is Deputy Mayor Giacinto Mariani, who is under
investigation and announced his resignation at a meeting in
Albiate attended by party leader Matteo Salvini on Wednesday.
Seregno Mayor Edoardo Mazza and town councillor Stefano
Gatti, both members of Silvio Berlusconi's centre-right Forza
Italia (FI) party, were among 24 people arrested in relation to
the probe earlier this week.
