A Milan surveillance court has ruled that former Lombardy governor Roberto Formigoni will be permitted to serve out the remainder of his 5-year, 10-month term for corruption by doing socially useful work, sources said on Tuesday.
The court agreed to Formigoni's request to serve the rest of the term, about one year, teaching Italian to foreign nuns at the Piccolo Cottolengo Don Orione Institute, the sources said.
Formigoni was allowed to leave jail and serve his time under house arrest months after starting his term in 2019.
The former centre-right governor was convicted in a corruption case involving Milan's Maugeri private clinic and the northern city's San Raffaele Hospital.
