Four former executives at Rome
public transport company ATAC were convicted Thursday of abuse
of office in the nepotistic hires of almost 50 friends and
relatives in 2008-2010.
Among them was a woman whom ATAC hired as a technical
specialist at 30,000 euros a year, in spite of the fact that she
only had a high school degree and her previous job experience
consisted of waitressing and being a hostess in a night club.
Former ATAC CEO Adalberto Bertucci was sentenced to three
years seven months in prison, his successor Antonio Marzia got
two years three months, former computer services manager Luca
Masciola was sentenced to three years one month and manager
Vincenzo Tosques got one year eight months.
Charges against former Trambus SpA general manager Tullio
Tulli timed out, and former city cabinet member for the
environment Marco Visconti was acquitted.
