The city of Rome said Monday that so
far its checks had not detected any anomalies in the procedures
for AS Roma's new stadium after nine people were arrested last
week in a probe into alleged corruption in relation to the
project.
"Roma's stadium will certainly be part of this city's
future," said Rome city planing chief Luca Montuori.
"If the procedure was correct, as we believe it was, then we
can move forward.
"We decided to verify some key parts because the citizens
have the right to responses about what has been happening over
the last few days.
"No part of the procedure seems in the slightest way affected
by the problems that we are reading about in the newspapers.
"If this is confirmed, we'll keep going".
