“It’s time to put a stop to the absurd mud machine resulting from the results of the latest investigation by the Reggio Prosecutor’s Office. Mayor Falcomatà and our administration have nothing to do with the mafia. This is demonstrated by the DNA of our political and administrative action, by the facts, dozens of acts produced by the Metropolitan City, and also by the Municipality of Reggio Calabria, led by the Mayor himself, which go in the direction of a clear and peremptory contrast to every kind of a criminal nature, in particular mafia-type crime”. Thus in a note the majority metropolitan councilors Carmelo Versace, Salvatore Fuda, Domenico Mantegna, Giuseppe Ranuccio, Giuseppe Marino, Filippo Quartuccio, Rudi Lizzi, Antonino Zimbalatti and Michele Conia.
“We do not intend to helplessly watch the massacre triggered in the aftermath of the investigation. Reading the documents it is possible to identify the mayor’s absolute non-involvement in any criminal dynamic, but also simply opaque. His story and the facts produced in recent years speak for him. And in this sense we do not intend to ignore the allusions, or even worse the obvious falsehoods, hinted at by some political subjects. The mayor will have the opportunity to further clarify, in the competent bodies, all the circumstances that he deems useful to reiterate his absolute non-involvement in the circumstances reported by the investigation. For our part today we intend to express our full support and absolute closeness to the person Falcomatà, victim of an absurd media storm, and then to the mayor, the administrator, the passionate and honest politician that we all know, we colleagues of the majority at the helm of the Metropolitan City but the citizens of Reggio first and foremost”.
