Matteo Orfini, the president of the
ruling centre-left Democratic Party (PD), has said no apologies
were owed to Rome over the 'Capital Mafia' corruption case, in
which over 40 defendants were sentenced to a total of more than
250 years in jail on Thursday. "We can react in many ways to
yesterday's sentence, all understandable and legitimate," Orfini
wrote in an article on the site of magazine Left Wing. "But the
most mistaken is that which has perhaps been most widespread
over the last few hours - to say that you should say sorry to
Rome because Rome is not a mafia city".
