Ex-mayor stays under house arrest in oil case

(ANSA) - Potenza, April 18 - The former Democratic Party (PD) mayor of the Basilicata town of Corleto Perticara, Rosaria Vicino, is to stay under house arrest in a southern Italian oil probe, judicial sources said Monday. A preventive detention review court rejected her appeal to be released. Vicino is accused of corruption in relation to the probe, which has touched the PD-led government. Industry minister Federica Guidi, while not under investigation, resigned over an amendment favouring her oil-industry boyfriend, Gianluca Gemelli.
