(ANSA) - Rome, October 9 - Rome prosecutors have opened a
probe into a failure to recycle rubbish in the Italian capital,
judicial sources said Wednesday.
The probe has posited possible charges of fraud, they said.
According to sources, rubbish collection is carried out at
night, when shops are closed and that makes it impossible to
recycle waste.
Rome is going through its umpteenth trash emergency.
Medical authorities have warned of a medical emergency from
stinking and unhygienic piles of uncollected rubbish.
Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi has played down the reports.
