A probe against former premier
Giuseppe Conte and forner health minister Roberto Speranza into
the alleged mismanagement of Italy's first phase of the COVID-19
pandemic in the northern city of Brescia was shelved Wednesday.
The Court of Ministers in Brescia dismissed the positions of
Conte and Speranza in the Bergamo Public Prosecutor's
investigation into the management of the first phase of the
pandemic in the local Val Seriana, where the two officials were
accused of not extending a lockdown to outlying areas and
thereby causing unwarranted deaths, judicial sources said.
Conte and Speranza have always said they acted in accordance
with the available scientific data and the opinions of experts.
