(see related)(ANSA) - Naples, January 11 - Beleaguered Quarto Mayor Rosa Capuozzo of the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) "is totally at peace and will not resign" over a probe into alleged Camorra mafia infiltration of her administration, her lawyer said Monday. "She will continue to be mayor," Stafano Paparella said. Capuozzo is resisting calls from all sides to step down after an M5S councillor in the town near Naples was ejected from the movement after being placed under investigation for allegedly taking Camorra votes in exchange for a public works project. The mayor herself is not under investigation in the probe.
    Paparella said he had assisted Capuozzo during a police search of her home and office Monday. "We remain an injured party in the affair," Paparella said.
