Aldo Spinelli agrees plea bargain for corruption

(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 16 - Entrepreneur Aldo Spinelli on Monday agreed a plea bargain deal with prosecutors in Genoa to end a corruption case against him.
    Prosecutors were seeking a sentence of three years and two months and the seizure of 400,000 euros, as well as a temporary ban on public office and in entering contracts with the public administration.
    A preliminary hearings judge will need to schedule a hearing to rule in favour or against the plea deal.
    The former centre-right governor of Liguria Giovanni Toti and the CEO of energy group Iren and former chairman of the Western Ligurian Sea Port Authority, Paolo Emilio Signorini, on Friday also reached deals with prosecutors to end the corruption case involving the three.
    Spinelli was accused of corrupting Toti in exchange for favours including the extension of a port terminal concession. (ANSA).
