Rome prosecutors have opened a probe
after former culture minister Gennaro Sangiuliano filed a
complaint against Maria Rosaria Boccia, a businesswoman he
resigned over after their affair emerged amid claims, which he
denied, that she was granted access to sensitive information and
paid with public money ahead of the Group of Seven (G7) Culture
Summit at Pompeii this weekend.
The complaint, whose exact content is not yet known, filed
against Boccia is being considered by the prosecutors in Rome.
The file was sent in the last few hours to the prosecutors HQ at
Piazzale Clodio and the prosecutors will soon begin the
investigations, sources said.
In the last few weeks, the lawyer Silverio Sica, the former
minister's attorney, had announced the complaint, citing "undue
pressure" exerted on his client by the entrepreneur and
influencer.
