Cantone stops Tolentino quake project

(ANSA) - Ancona, September 21 - Italy's anti-corruption czar Raffaele Cantone on Friday stopped a project to build 46 council flats out of an industrial property at quake-hit Tolentino in Marche, replacing temporary dwellings.
    Cantone halted the project because it envisaged a "negotiated procedure without prior publication of the tender".
    The project organisers argued that they could be exempted from a public tender because of the emergency nature of the housing.
    Cantone disagreed.
