Conte, Speranza COVID Brescia probe shelved

(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 7 - A probe against former premier Giuseppe Conte and former health minister Roberto Speranza into the alleged mismanagement of Italy's first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in the northern city of Bergamo was shelved Wednesday.
    The Court of Ministers in Brescia dismissed the positions of Conte and Speranza in the Bergamo Public Prosecutor's investigation into the management of the first phase of the pandemic in Bergamo's Val Seriana, where the two officials were accused of not extending a lockdown to two outlying areas and thereby causing unwarranted deaths, judicial sources said.
    Conte and Speranza have always said they acted in accordance with the available scientific data and the opinions of experts.
