Italy’s Court of Auditors on Wednesday rejected a key government project, refusing to sign off on plans to build a 13.5 billion euro massive bridge connecting Sicily to the mainland, dealing a blow to the right-wing government led by Premier Giorgia Meloni.
The court — which has a dual role of financial control and jurisdiction in public accounting — issued its decision in a brief statement on Wednesday evening, adding that it would publish its motivations within 30 days.
