A Puglia regional councillor,
Michele Mazzarano of the centre-left Democratic Party (PD), quit
in an alleged vote-buying case on Thursday.
Mazzarano, Puglia's executive councillor for industry, was
accused by a witness on TV show Striscia La Notizia Wednesday of
promising to hire his two children in exchange for the free
allocation of premises for the 2015 regional election campaign.
"I'm handing back my mandate to the governor (Michele
Emiliano of the PD)," Mazzarano said.
