Stefano Graziano met with
arrested Camorra mafia suspect Alessandro Zagaria at his
campaign headquarters, police evidence including photos and
videos contained in prosecution papers showed Friday.
Graziano suspended himself last Tuesday as Campania
regional chief of Premier Matteo Renzi's Democratic Party (PD)
and from the regional council, of which he is an elected member,
after police searched his homes and office in Rome and in the
town of Teverola, near Caserta, as part of a probe that led to
nine arrests, including that of restaurateur and businessman
Alessandro Zagaria.
Investigators are scrutinizing Zagaria's alleged backing of
Graziano's electoral campaign.
Zagaria is thought to be a member of the Casalesi clan and
an intermediary between the mafia and the political and business
worlds.
