Guidi's boyfriend to 'clarify all' (2)

(ANSA) - Potenza, April 22 - Gianluca Gemelli, the boyfriend of former industry minister Federica Guidi who is among the suspects in an oil-sector probe in the southern region of Basilicata, arrived at Potenza's judicial complex for questioning by prosecutors on Friday. "He has come to Potenza to clarify everything," said Gemelli's lawyer, Paolo Carbone.
    Gemelli is being probed for conspiracy to commit corruption and falsely claiming influence over a public official in order to obtain bribes.
    Investigators said the Sicilian oil-industry businessman is a "key person" for the interests of the same "clan" in Basilicata, both for the Tempa Rossa oil field project in Corleto Perticara in the province of Potenza, and in Sicily for the Port of Augusta in the province of Siracusa.
    Guidi, who is not under investigation, resigned on March 31 over a phone tap in which she is heard discussing a government amendment on the Tempa Rossa oil field with Gemelli.
