A Rome judge on Wednesday indicted
former centre-left Sports Minister Luca Lotti for another
alleged felony regarding State procurement agency CONSIP.
The new indictment regards alleged revelation of confidential
information.
Carabinieri General Emanuele Saltalamacchia was indicted on the
same charge
Lotti had already been sent to trial for alleged aiding and
abetting.
He is suspected of allegedly tipping off former CONSIP CEO Luigi
Marroni about a probe into alleged corruption regarding agency
contracts.
The former minister denies any wrongdoing.
Lotti's lawyer, Franco Coppi, said the new indictment was
"surprising" after prosecutors had requested the charge be
dropped.
The trial will start on October 13 and will consider both the
aiding and abetting and revelation of confidential information
charges.
