Puglia Governor Michele Emiliano is
under investigation for braking the Severino Law on corruption
and cronyism, the Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno reported Wednesday.
The probe is in relation to the appointment of the former
mayor of Bisceglie, Francesco Spina, as a director of the public
company InnovaPuglia, the paper said.
As well as Emiliano, Spina is also under investigation, it
said.
Also under investigation is a regional government manager,
Nicola Lopane, the newspaper said.
Emiliano is a prominent member of the centre-left opposition
Democratic Party (PD).
He has twice stood, unsuccessfully, to be PD leader.
On the probe, Emiliano said "I'm not worried, everything is
in order".
