Former Rome mayor Alemanno's 6-yr term upheld

(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 23 - An appeals court on Friday upheld a six-year prison term for Gianni Alemanno, the former centre-right mayor of Rome, for corruption and illegal financing.
    In Italy sentences do not usually become effective until the three-tier appeals process has been exhausted.
    The case is an offshoot linked to the huge 'Mondo di Mezzo' corruption scandal. (ANSA).
