The President of the Calabria Region, Roberto Occhiuto, is being investigated for corruption by the Catanzaro Public Prosecutor's Office.
The president himself revealed it in a video posted on social media.
"I would never have thought - says Occhiuto - that I would have to share with you news of this kind. For the first time in my life I have received a notice of investigation, they tell me in the context of a broader investigation, which would involve more people. A notice for corruption. Me? I who in these years have managed the Region with absolute rigor, who have never done anything that remotely approached a hypothesis of corruption".
Among the first to defend him was Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani: "I have known Roberto Occhiuto for many years. He is a good and honest person," he wrote on X. "I am certain of his innocence, I have no doubts about his lack of involvement in the contested facts. I am convinced that the outcome of the investigations will bring him justice. Go Roberto!"
