Vincenzo De Luca on Monday
launched a court action seeking the annulment of a decision to
suspend him from office as governor of the region of Campania,
according to his lawyer. De Luca was suspended last week under
an anti-corruption law that bans officials convicted of crimes
from holding office for a limited period of time. De Luca was
convicted in January of abuse of office while Salerno mayor and
banned from office, but reinstated three days later. His
candidacy for the ruling Democratic Party in the May 31 regional
vote was controversial.
