Orlando hails new anti-graft law

(ANSA) - Giugliano, May 22 - Justice Minister Andrea Orlando on Friday said that new anti-corruption legislation approved by a wide majority on Thursday makes it "possible to better attack the corruptive network," speaking on the sidelines of an electoral gathering in the province of Naples.
    "After 15 years, false accounting is finally back," Orlando said.
    Orlando was referring to content in the new law which makes false accounting a crime again, years after the former Berlusconi government passed legislation effectively decriminalizing it. The new law also wipes out the possibility of graft offences timing out or offenders pleading out.
