Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala wrote in a letter to his deputies on Friday that he was suspending himself until the accusations against him are clarified.
"My absence is due to the personal need to find out about the case and the accusations," Sala wrote to Deputy Milan Mayor Anna Scavuzzo and Deputy Metropolitan City Mayor as well as city assembly president Lamberto Berotolè.
"Therefore, I will not be able to perform my institutional duties until the accusations are clarified".
