Mayor Manfredi: "The situation today is unclear."
The Municipality will take this statue once everything is clear. The situation is unclear today. We've received communications and material from the Prosecutor's Office, so we must remain cautious and wait for the judiciary to take its course.
When everything is clear then we will decide."
