Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala is under
investigation for alleged bid rigging in relation to a contract
to supply trees to Milan Expo 2015.
The mayor, the former commissioner of the World Fair, is also
being probed in a separate investigation into another contract
for Expo.
"I just feel great bitterness, above all when I think about
how much I sacrificed to make Expo a great success for Italy and
Milan," he said.
"In any case I will find the motivation to continue to do my
job at the service of the city with the maximum dedication
possible".
