Former Turin mayor Piero Fassino
is among those under investigation in a probe into the Turin
Book Fair in which former regional culture chief Antonella
Parigi is already probed, sources said Monday.
The probe into Parigi relates to the organisation of the 2015
edition and the preparation of the tender for the 2016 edition,
sources said.
Fassino is a leading member of the centre-left Democratic
Party (PD) of ex-premier Matteo Renzi.
He was Turin mayor between 2011 and 2016.
"I am absolutely serene," Fassino said in a statement.
"I have always operated in the interests of the City of
Turin," he said.
