Cover on Genoa decree OK, to president

(ANSA) - Rome, September 25 - Financial cover for the Genoa bridge decree has been found, contrary to media reports, and the decree will go to President Sergio Mattarella before being published in the Official Gazette, a statement from the premier's office said Tuesday.
    It said the intervention in the capital account was already "wholly" funded this year.
    Furthermore, those in current accounts were also funded for 2018, and, in part, for subsequent years.
    Genoa's Morandi Bridge collapsed August 14 killing 43 people.
    A replacement is set to be built with funding from the Autostrade per l'Italia (ASPI) motorway concessionary, which will not however be involved in the construction.
    Earlier economic and finance ministry sources said Italy's general accounting office has not blocked a decree on the reconstruction of the Morandi Bridge. The comment was in reference to leaks reported by a website. They added that the office was seeking how to cover the decree since it had come "without any indication of costs and how they would be covered" and that technical experts from the office were working on estimating costs and finding possible ways to cover them, to subsequently be submitted to the administration.
