(ANSA) Rome, November 7 - Eight fines slapped on Rome Mayor
Ignazio Marino's car after he allegedly forgot to renew a
parking permit have been forgiven, Transport Councillor Guido
Improta said Friday.
"There is no abuse," claimed Improta, "it is a normal
practice, called friendly administration. If somebody forgets to
renew their pass and is given a fine the citizen can write to
the Mobility Agency or the fines office to ask to act in
self-defense, avoiding an appeal and so eliminating the fines".
"In the same way the public administration can autonomously
amend the oversight".
Improta was responding to opposition New Centre Right
Senator Andrea Augelio who in a parliamentary question said the
fines left on the mayor's Fiat Panda, each for 80 euros, had
evidently been "frozen" as a favour to the centre-left mayor and
surgeon.
"This is valid for all citizens," claimed Improta, "the
charge sheet is sanitized in self defense. The offices are at
the disposal of the public to show that this happens normally".
