Chaos in the Democratic Party in Emilia. The parliamentarian and candidate for the presidency of the Emilia-Romagna Region, Matteo Richetti, is under investigation for embezzlement, with eight other regional councilors, by the Bologna prosecutor's office in the so-called "crazy spending" investigation of the regional assembly. The former president of the Viale Aldo Moro classroom withdrew this morning from the race for the Pd primaries, having given up presenting signatures in order to be a candidate.
In the evening new development. Stefano Bonaccini, another candidate in the primaries of the center-left in Emilia-Romagna and self-suspended regional secretary of the Democratic Party, is also under investigation in the same investigation and always for embezzlement, as confirmed by his lawyer, Vittorio Manes. "We have made ourselves formally available to clarify any charges as soon as possible," said Manes. The survey, which dates back to 2012, involved all the groups of the Emilia-Romagna regional assembly. In mid-July, the regional prosecutor's office of the Court of Auditors had delivered a series of invitations to deduce, the end of the investigation requesting the interested party to defend himself to avoid being summoned to trial.
