(ANSA) - Rome, February 23 - Ex-Democratic Party (PD) Rome mayor Ignazio Marino may face charges in two separate trials for alleged misuse of a city credit card and for alleged improprieties in consulting contracts at his non-profit, called Imagine, while he was still in office, sources said Tuesday.
Rome prosecutors have notified him that two probes have been closed, usually a prelude to an indictment request.
Rome prosecutors opened probes into the mayor's expenses after the small rightwing Brothers of Italy (FDI) party and the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) - the second-largest party in Italy - filed petitions last year.
Marino took office in June 2013 after a landslide win, and stepped down in October 2015 due to the expenses scandal.
