ROME – Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi will likely be suing former head of the city’s trash management company Lorenzo Bagnacani, official sources reported on Friday.

Legal actions come after Italian weekly magazine ‘L’Espresso’ published a series of conversations between the mayor and the former CEO, in which Raggi demands the accounts of the waste company to be manipulated to hide credits from cemetery waste management services.

Bagnacani said he was fired after he refused to give in to the mayor’s intentions, as reported in the wiretaps release by the magazine.

ROME - Italian president Sergio Mattarella Friday stated that “the wind of sovereignism would not threaten the existence of the European Union,” in an interview with famed French magazine ‘La Revue de Politique Internationale’.

 “There are a large number of countries that are in unprecedented positions. But I do not believe that these changes can affect the workings of the Parliament, the Commission and the European Council, and even less threaten the existence of the Union,” Mattarella declared.
