The former mayor of Rome Gianni Alemmano was sentenced to one year and ten months for trafficking in influences and illicit financing in the context of the excerpt proceeding on ‘Mafia capital’. This was decided by the judges of the fourth criminal section of the Court of Appeal of Rome in the bis process ordered by the Supreme Court to redetermine the sentence. The attorney general had asked in the hearing this morning to sentence Alemanno, present in the courtroom, to two and a half years. On 8 July the judges of the sixth criminal section of the Court of Cassation had acquitted the former mayor, defended by the lawyers Cesare Placanica and Filippo Dinacci, from the accusation of corruption in the context of the excerpt procedure on ‘Mafia capital’. Alemanno had been sentenced in first degree and on appeal to 6 years but then the Supreme Court had annulled the corruption charges without postponement, deciding to have a new appeal process carried out to redetermine the sentence, re-qualifying the crime in the traffic of influences, for the case of the release of payments of Eur Spa. The Court of Cassation with the sentence had confirmed the responsibility of the former mayor Alemanno in relation to the crime of illicit financing.
