Vannacci says conscience clear, will speak in proper fora

(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 24 - Italian anti-gay general Roberto Vannucci said Saturday his conscience was clear regarding an investigation into alleged embezzlement and fraud during his time as military attaché in Moscow and he would address the probe in the appropriate fora.
    "I don't talk about service matters with the press. I am very serene and will report in the appropriate venues", the 55-year-old former paratrooper and bestselling author told ANSA.
    A ministerial inspection on his period of service in the Russian capital reportedly turned up a number of alleged irregularities regarding expenses and income from non-existent parties and events, among other things, Saturday's Corriere della Sera reported.
