A Calabrian mayor was implicated
in a water purification scam in the southern Italian region on
Tuesday.
Barbara Mele, first citizen of San Nicola Arcella near Cosenza
in northern Calabria, has been served an order to report to
police regularly.
In all, 10 warrants were issued in the probe.
Regional environmental agency technician Francesco Fullone was
suspended for a year for agreeing with purification plant
managers on the procedures for testing.
Tests were not properly carried out, police said.
Company managers paid bribes to elude proper testing, they said.
