Milan prosecutors on Monday asked
for a jail term of 13 months for Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala in a
case of alleged graft regarding the Service Platform for the
Milan Expo.
Sala is charged with false statements and breaching norms
including Italy's tenders code, prosecutors said.
They said he did do by directly assigning a contract to
supply 6,000 trees to Mantovani SpA firm without holding a
public tender.
The prosecutors thus reiterated an indictment request for
Sala and others being probed in connection with the so-called
Service Platform at the 2015 event.
Sala's lawyer Salvatore Scuto said Sala should be acquitted
by the preliminary hearings judge because he did nothing wrong
and the prosecutors are "out of touch with reality".
