Tommaso Miele has resigned from his position as President of the Audit Board of Italy’s Council of Higher Judicial Council (CSM). The resignation follows his implication in a corruption scandal surrounding the planned construction of the Strait of Messina Bridge. Miele, a former Deputy President of the Court of Accounts, retired in February. Details of his specific involvement in the alleged corruption have not been fully disclosed, but his name surfaced during the ongoing investigation. Italian authorities are investigating potential irregularities and illicit activities related to the lucrative infrastructure project. The probe is focusing on alleged bribery and influence peddling connected to the bridge’s development. Miele’s departure is likely to further intensify scrutiny of the project and the individuals involved.
