(see related)The Naples
prefecture has begun procedures to place under receivership a
contract for water main and sewer maintenance in the town of
Quarto near Naples, ANSA learned Friday.
The receivership follows on a request of information from
the National Anti-Corruption Authority (ANAC) on the contract
that was originally awarded to a firm called Fradel Cooperative,
which was subsequently barred from doing business because it was
deemed at risk of being infiltrated by organized crime.
Quarto has come under the media spotlight after former
councillor Giovanni De Robbio was recently ejected from the
anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) for his involvement in
a probe for mafia association.
Calls have come from all sides for M5S Quarto Mayor Rosa
Capuozzo to step down.
