Puglia's centre-left opposition
Democratic Party (PD) Governor Michele Emiliano has been
summoned by the parliamentary anti-mafia commission for 10 May
for a hearing on the risks of mafia infiltration in Puglia and
Bari, sources said Friday.
In the past few days, Emiliano, who had already been summoned
for 2 May, had asked for the date of the convocation to be
postponed after 9 May due to political commitments.
For 8 May - on the same topics - the attorney general of Bari,
Roberto Rossi, is instead convened.
The government is sending inspector to assess mafia infiltration
in the southeastern city, where PD Mayor Antonio Decaro has said
he has decapitated its 14 mafia clans.
Emilian was recently embarrassed by telling a story at a rally
about how he had, as mayor, 'entrusted' then councillor Decaro
to a clan boss's sister over 10 years ago.
