Anti-graft chief urges lawfulness

(ANSA) - Rome, May 21 - It is absolutely necessary to promote a culture of lawfulness in Italy, anti-corruption chief Raffaele Cantone said Thursday.
    "This is an essential premise," the head of Italy's anti-corruption authority told a forum on legality hosted by ANSA.
    "Young people must be made to understand that corruption does not only damage business but also their future," Cantone continued, adding that the "cancer of corruption" had been underestimated for too long. "It is not true that young people are disinterested in this subject, they only need to be motivated," he concluded. His comments came the day after the Italian parliamentary anti-mafia commission approved a long-called-for anti-graft bill with the backing of the Supreme Magistrates Council (CSM).
