移民賛成派市長が自宅軟禁へ

BBC Italy Lucano: Migrant-friendly mayor of Riace arrested 1 Oct 2018

「Domenico Lucano, mayor of Riace, has been placed under house arrest by financial police」

「Domenico Lucano, mayor of Riace, has been detained over his alleged involvement in organising "marriages of convenience" for immigration purposes.」

　…ああうん、それはうまくない。

「Prosecutors said they had wire-tapped Mr Lucano's phone and recorded at least one exchange in which the mayor appeared to suggest marriage as a solution to a woman's immigration problems, in a way they said could not be misunderstood.

One excerpt concerned a Nigerian migrant who had been denied residence three times, the statement said. Mr Lucano is reported to have said that marrying an Italian citizen was "the only way forward".」

　戸籍の目的外使用を口にしちゃったなら、マズイ。

「Separately, prosecutors said that rubbish collection services had been allocated to two companies without going through the required public tender process.」

　果断な処置であると賞賛は可能だが、それでもなお、危ういことは確かといったところか。No abuse of fundsともあり、公金の不適切処理の問題はなく、政治的追い落としには不十分では、まああるのだろう。だが倫理的なよさで押していく道を選んだところ、その倫理の点でかげりを提示されたら…という。
