(ANSA) - Naples, October 31 - Probe-troubled politician Luigi de Magistris officiated a wedding as his first official act after being reinstated as Mayor of Naples on Friday.
    Wearing the Italian flag, de Magistris conducted the exchange of vows between Neapolitan writer Valeria Parrella and film director David Iodice. An administrative court judge on Thursday reinstated the former headline-grabbing prosecutor turned leftist politician as Naples mayor pending an appeal to Italy's top court Thursday.
    De Magistris denies all wrongdoing in an abuse-of-power case stemming from his former career and dubbed the affair "surreal".
    De Magistris was suspended October 1 after receiving a suspended 15-month sentence for abusing his power to order unwarranted wiretaps as a public prosecutor.
    A Campania court referred the case to the Constitutional Court Wednesday.
