Roberto Rosso, the regional councilor who resigned after being arrested on charges of mafia political exchange vote, also resigned as regional councilor and municipal councilor of Turin. A personal decision, states his lawyer, the lawyer Giorgio Piazzese, "developed in his conscience for respect for the institutions and citizens". "He was not obliged to resign - the defender points out - his was an autonomous ethical choice for a sense of political responsibility". Rosso, says his lawyer, is "aware of his total estrangement from organized crime" and "hopes that the matter will be dealt with in the competent judicial offices, the only ones where he can and must find a solution". The resignation was made official both in Piazza Castello and in Palazzo di Città.
