The prefect of Naples, Michele di Bari, following the precautionary custody order issued against the mayor of Palma Campania Nello Donnarumma, has ascertained the existence of the cause for suspension by right from office against the mayor.
Therefore, a note from the prefecture explains, the mayor "is replaced in all his functions by the deputy mayor."
The picture emerging from the investigations that led to the arrest of Palma Campania's mayor, Aniello Donnarumma, is alarming. The allegations of corruption and forgery of public documents advanced by investigators relate to sensitive contracts for public works carried out in the Campania municipality.
Even more serious is the hypothesis of hiring for superfluous services, with economic damage to the municipal coffers. The work of the investigators will shed light on the matter, but it is reasonable to expect a clear and unequivocal position from Fratelli D'Italia, given that Donnarumma was also the party's deputy provincial commissioner in Naples.
This affair clearly highlights the need to strengthen transparency processes in the management of public procurement, including at the municipal level. Furthermore, political forces must commit to selecting their own leadership; this is the first step towards establishing legality in the local communities. The fight against corruption requires clear and unequivocal decisions. This is what Senator Enza Rando, responsible for Legality, Transparency and the fight against the mafia of the national secretariat of the Democratic Party, says.
