Former Rome mayor Gianni Alemanno released from prison

I'm innocent, govt has done nothing about overcrowding says right-wing politician

Former Rome mayor Gianni Alemanno was

released from the city's Rebibbia prison on Wednesday after

spending almost 18 months behind bars over a conviction for

influence peddling.

"I leave prison an innocent man," Alemanno told reporters.

He added that the Premier Giorgia Meloni's government "has done

nothing" about the problem of prison overcrowding.

Alemanno, a right-wing politician who also served as agriculture

minister from 2001 to 2006, highlighted the difficult situation

in Italy's jails during his detention with his online 'cell

diary'

Overcrowding and insufficient staffing have been linked to high

suicide rates by inmates in Italy.

Alemanno had been in Rebibbia since December 31, 2024 for not

having respected the obligations imposed on him by the

surveillance judges after a definitive conviction for waging

illicit influence in one branch of the political-business

racketeering case in the Italian capital dubbed 'Middle World'

and a suspended sentence of one year and 10 months.
