Sangiuliano heard for 4 hrs, Boccia complaint clarified

(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 30 - Former culture minister Gennaro Sangiuliano on Monday spoke for four hours to prosecutors investigating his complaint against the former lover and ex consultant who caused his resignation, Maria Rosaria Boccia, judicial sources said.
    Prosecutors had summoned Sangiuliano to clarify some aspects of the complaint filed against fashion entrepreneur and influencer Boccia, who is now under investigation for "threatening a political body of the state and aggravated injuries".
    Pompeii native Boccia, 41, claimed her 62-year-old lover gave her privileged access to plans for the recent Group of Seven Culture Summit at the ancient Roman site and that he had paid for flights and entertainment using public funds.
    He denies this.
    Police have found a pair of smart glasses that the influencer, by her own admission, had previously used to make videos inside parliament - an activity that cost her a ban from entering Roman public offices. The Roman magistrates are analyzing the available material and examining what is on Boccia's mobile phone and personal computer.
    The Italian media have reported that Boccia made unspecified threats against Sangiuliano as well as falsely claiming to be pregnant by him.
    Gossip mags have also run photos of the former minister with a scratch on his forehead, allegedly caused by her. (ANSA).
