(ANSA) - Rome, December 14 - Rome prosecutors on Friday requested that former centre-left sports minister Luca Lotti be sent to trial along with six others in a case centring on public procurement agency CONSIP.
Former Carabinieri General Commander Tullio Del Sete, Carabinieri General Emanuele Saltalamacchia and entrepreneur Carlo Russo are also among those who risk going on trial.
Ex-minister Lotti is suspected of allegedly aiding and abetting.
Del Sette is accused of violating judicial secrecy, Saltamacchia of aiding and abetting the operation, Russo of illicitly lobbying in exchange for money, ex-government advisor Filippo Vannoni of aiding and abetting and a former high-ranking official with Carabinieri NOE environmental police, Gian Paolo Scafarto, of revealing classified information.
Scafarto, together with a former Carabinieri colleague, Alessandro Sessa, is also accused of attempting to throw the investigation off track.
Rome prosecutors had previously asked to shelve the case against the father of ex-premier and center-left Democratic Party (PD) leader Matteo Renzi, Tiziano, who was accused of alleged influence-peddling in the case.
Scafarto allegedly wrongly attributed a wiretap in the CONSIP probe concerning Tiziano Renzi.
