(ANSA) - ROME, APR 29 - The parliamentary Anti-Mafia
Commission on Monday officially summoned Puglia Region President
Michele Emiliano for 2 May for a hearing on suspected mafia
infiltration in Puglia and Bari in particular after a string of
recent cases of mafia vote buying and other Mob-related
offences.
Earlier Monday Emiliano, a bigwig in the centre-left Democratic
Party (PD), denied reports he had asked not be summoned,
clarifying that he had simply asked for a postponement of his
hearing to avoid a clash with related Puglia political business.
