Rome prosecutors have requested a
six-month extension for a probe into Sports Minister Luca Lotti
over alleged wrongdoing related to civil-service procurement
agency CONSIP, sources said Friday.
The minister is under investigation for alleged aiding and
abetting and violation of judicial secrecy.
Lotti is suspected of allegedly tipping off CONSIP CEO Luigi
Marroni about a probe into alleged corruption regarding agency
contracts.
The father of ex-premier and centre-left Democratic Party
(PD) leader Matteo Renzi, Tiziano, is being probed for alleged
influence-peddling in the case.
