According to press rumors, the new Minister of Sport, Luca Lotti, former undersecretary to the Prime Minister, would be investigated for disclosure of official secrecy and aiding and abetting in the context of the investigation by the Neapolitan judiciary (which has already sent the documents to the Public Prosecutor's Office of Rome) on alleged irregularities in the contracts of Consip, the company that manages state procurement.
Lotti reacted sharply to press reports: "It's something that simply doesn't exist." He appointed the lawyer Coppi as his defense counsel and asked the Roman magistrate to be heard as soon as possible.
