Lazio region, the letter from the chief of staff to President Zingaretti – The Messenger

“A few days ago, after learning to be formally investigated as part of an investigation by the Prosecutor of Rome regarding a tender of the Lazio Region – Venafro writes in the letter of resignation ‘unilateral and irrevocable to the governor Nicola Zingaretti – , appeared voluntarily before the prosecutors conducting the investigation; I provided all the explanations that I have been requested and gave full and helpful cooperation for the correct reconstruction of the facts. ”

“I have to take note – continues Venafro – that the normal timing of investigation, net of any rhetorical call to a desirable speed, requires prosecutors to carry out, with the necessary attention, all due and complex investigations ; But this is (unfortunately) is incompatible with the times of political information and, last but not least, with those of my personal dignity. “

” I will not – adds Venafro – until my position has been clarified and closed with the inevitable storage, resulting to my strangeness to each hypothesis indictment, speak publicly of the investigation of the facts and reasons that lay to the absolute correctness and transparency of my work. ” “My gesture – the letter continues – is assumed, therefore, to allow the political and the judiciary to do its work without mutual conditioning, and indeed in a spirit of cooperation that must unite all the positive energy of our country.”

Venafro, in his letter, also emphasizes “the immense work of profound reform of the regional organization carried out by me and all of us from the very first hours after our settlement two years ago,” and the need to “continue the work of radical change without hesitation or embarrassment.” “You have to move forward, you have to move on – concludes Venafro addressing Zingaretti – you and the council, without delay because the citizens of New York and not only need all your energy and your determination I will follow you with affection and closeness and tiferò for the change that you have announced and that, together, we started. See you soon for a new adventure. ”
