Prosecutors on Wednesday asked
for the Saint-Vicent casino near Aosta to be declared bankrupt.
A prosecutor said this was because the casino was in a state
of "irreversible crisis".
The gambling locale was affected by "grace insolvency, the
debt situation, the substantially closed lines of credit and
therefore an irreversible crisis".
On October 25 the Val d'Aosta audit court sentenced 21
regional councillors an ex-councillors to pay 30 million euros
in damages over funding of 140 million euros given to the Casino
in Saint-Vincent.
Among those found guilty were former governors Augusto
Rollandin (4.5 million) and Pierluigi Marquis (807,000 euros).
The officials and ex-officials were found to have broken
funding norms.
