Roberto De Luca, a Salerno
city councillor and the son of Campania Governor Vincenzo De
Luca, is under investigation in a corruption probe that spurred
searches of several regional offices on Thursday, sources said
Friday.
De Luca Jr's involvement in the case is linked to a video
published by the Fanpage news site in which a bogus businessman
allegedly proposes illegal deals for contracts to process waste,
the sources said.
Roberto De Luca's home and office were searched overnight in
relation to the probe, according to the sources.
"I think that the De Luca family is patriarchal and that, if
it is confirmed that the son worked in the illegal management of
trash, the father is in the middle of it," said Roberto Fico, a
lawmaker for the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) and
the president of the RAI State broadcaster parliamentary
oversight commission.
Fanpage.it said Friday that it has seven videos taken from
some 900 hours of footage from an investigative report on
alleged illegal trash trafficking and management in Campania.
The footage was obtained thanks to a former Camorra mafia
boss who said he wanted to get involved in the business and was
filmed by a journalist using a hidden camera as he met managers
from in-house Campania region companies, it said.
Fanpage.it published the first of the videos on Friday
genti della squadra mobile e dello Sco hanno eseguito una
perquisizione la scorsa notte nell'abitazione e nello studio
professionale di Roberto De Luca, assessore comunale di Salerno
e figlio del governatore della Campania Vincenzo. La
perquisizione rientra nell'inchiesta della procura di Napoli che
ha indagato De Luca jr per corruzione in relazione a un video di
Fanpage in cui un finto imprenditore gli avrebbe proposto
accordi illeciti per un appalto. Nelle stesse ore sono state
eseguite altre perquisizioni
'Credo sia coinvolto anche il
governatore', dice Roberto Fico del M5s.
