Rome, 25 July (LaPresse) – ‘They were not bribes but fees, it's my job.’ So said architect Alessandro Scandurra, one of those under investigation in the Milan urban planning inquiry, in an interview with La Repubblica. ‘I have done many projects, I have 25 years of experience, the invoices are nothing more than payment for work carried out over the years by those who placed their trust in me. And it's all above board. I have always worked conscientiously, separating my work from my public responsibilities as commissioner. It is an honour for me to be recognised as capable of guiding the city's development. I have always been transparent,’ he assures. The serious allegations against him ‘are errors, exaggerations, misunderstandings. I felt completely misunderstood, with a point of view that I never had, as if they were turning reality upside down. It's like when you do something in the spirit of service and it is instead understood as something that hurts. It is painful for someone who has always acted in the public interest.’
