The prosecutor at Italy's
highest court of appeal, the supreme Court of Cassation, on
Thursday asked for a term of seven and a half years, the
maximum, to be upheld against former Lombardy governor Roberto
Formigoni in a corruption case involving Milan's Maugeri private
clinic and the northern city's San Raffaele Hospital.
"There was an imposing corruptive bartering," said Prosecutor
General Luigi Birritteri.
The maxium term should be upheld, he said, "considering
(Formigoni's) role and the mass of corruption, which leave it
hard to imagine an affair of a similar gravity".
