Anti-Mafia lists 14 'unpresentables' (3)

(ANSA) - Rome, May 31 - The parliamentary anti-mafia commission on Tuesday listed 14 candidates as 'unpresentable' in June 5 local elections.
    Seven were in Battipaglia: Carmine Fasano, Daniela Minniti, Lucio Carrara, Francesco Procida, Bartolomeo D'Apuzzo, Demetrio Landi and Giuseppe Del Percio.
    Five were in Rome: Antonio Carone, Domenico Schioppa, Antonio Giugliano, Fernando Vendetti, and, the only one bidding for a Rome council place, Mattia Marchetti.
    Two were in Calabria: at Scalea, Carmelo Bagnato and at San Sostene, Alessandro Codispoti.
    In particular, the commission said, Alessandro Codispoti, Giuseppe Del Percio and Domenico Schioppa are not eligible and should therefore resign in the event of election.
    Fernando Vendetti, Mattia Marchetti and Giugliano Antonio do not meet the standards of self-regulation voted by all parties on the commission.
    Finally, Demetrio Landi, Bartolomeo D'Apuozzo, Francesco Procida, Lucio Carrara, Daniela Minniti, Carmelo Bagnato, Carone Antonio and Carmine Fasano are not fit for candidacy under the Severino anti-corruption law. Anti-mafia chair Rosy Bindi said all 14 were candidates in civic lists, which, she said, were "gateways for the mafia". "The situation is, overall, encouraging," she said," even though some data are worrying".
