Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi is likely
to sue Lorenzo Bagnacani, the former head of the city's troubled
trash-management company AMA, after he filed a complaint against
her, the first citizen's lawyer said Friday.
"We are waiting to read the complaint filed by former AMA
head Bagnacani to assess whether there is a crime, such as
calumny or defamation, for example," said lawyer Emiliano
Fasulo.
Bagnacani said he was sacked after he refused to do the
mayor's bidding following "undue pressure", according to a
report by L'Espresso weekly.
In wiretaps published by magazine, Raggi allegedly leans on
Bagnacani to push the firm's accounts into the red.
Raggi, a member of the anti-corruption 5-Star Movement (M5S),
is not under investigation and has said the furore caused by the
publication of the wiretap is much ado about nothing.
