(ANSA) - Potenza, April 4 - The former chiefs of the Total
oil company and various businessmen and officials were sentenced
to terms ranging from two to seven years in jail Monday over the
construction of the Tempa Rossa oil centre between Corleto
Perticara near Potenza and Gorgoglione near Matera. The probe is
different from another one into alleged corruption which has
touched the government, spurring the resignation of industry
minister Federica Guidi last week. Guidi is not under
investigation but her boyfriend, oilman Gianluca Gemelli, is.
Prosecutors are currently questioning Reforms and Relations with
Parliament Minister Maria Elena Boschi who signed off on an
amendment favouring one of Gemelli's projects, over which Guidi
resigned.
