Rome mayor Virginia Raggi. Photo: Tiziana Fabi/AFPRome Mayor Virginia Raggi has asked to be put on trial immediately for allegedly making a false statement to an anti-corruption official, as she is confident of her innocence. More serious charges of abuse of office against the embattled mayor were dropped in September, but prosecutors called for her to appear in court to answer charges that she lied to the head of the city’s anti-corruption watchdog when she told him she had personally appointed Renato Marra, the brother of former personnel chief Raffaele, as the town hall’s tourism chief. Investigators suspect that Marra was actually given the job by his brother - currently on trial for corruption – and a former close aide to Raggi. Raggi, a member of the Five Star Movement, which has based much of its appeal on anti-corruption principles, said on Tuesday that she had asked a Rome court for an immediate trial. “I am certain of my innocence and I don’t want to dodge any trial,” she was quoted by Ansa as saying. "I have full confidence in the justice system and I firmly believe that transparency is one of the most important values of our administration." The Five Star Movement is cu, ...ادامه مطلب

The 19-year-old Cutrone broke through after 104 minutes at the San Siro after the match had ended 0-0 in regular time to set up a two-legged semi-final against Lazio, who saw off Fiorentina 1-0 on Tuesday. But Milan's third-choice goalkeeper Antonio Donnarumma, 27, elder brother of the regular keeper Gianluigi, 18, played a key role on his debut, after his sibling was ruled out with an injury and second-choice Marco Storari, 40, pulled out during the warm-up. The video assistant referee saved Donnarumma's blushes after he put the ball into his own net, but otherwise it was an assured debut for a player previously branded a "parasite" by Milan's hardcore ultra fans. "When I heard Marco was injured, I was a little stunned, but I told myself to take this chance and have fun," Donnarumma told Milan TV. "I always trained well, I always did my work in silence.
