Michela Rosetta announced Monday that
she was quitting as the mayor of the Piedmont town of San
Germano Vercellese after being arrested and suspended in
relation to a probe into her allegedly denying COVID-19 aid to
foreign nationals.
Speaking via her lawyer, Roberto Capra, she described the
allegations as "groundless, unjust and gratuitously defamatory".
"I have always acted exclusive in the interest of the
population, trying to help all those who were in conditions of
difficulty and making good use of public money," she said.
