Alleged Capital Mafia ringleader
Salvatore Buzzi on Monday testified that he had given 21,800
euros to centre-left Democratic Party (PD) MEP and heavyweight
Goffredo Bettini for setting up a meeting with then former PD
premier Gianni Letta.
Buzzi told the court that the money was given to Bettini
"also via bank transfers to cover his electoral expenses".
Buzzi, former honcho of leftwing cooperatives, is one of two
alleged Capital Mafia ringleaders along with former rightist
militant and gangster Massimo Carminati.
