Overview
- Deputy Chiara La Porta published the Interior Ministry’s written reply on Nov. 26, disclosing that President Eugenio Giani went to the A11 stop and later accompanied Cristina Manetti to the Florence Prefecture.
- Cristina Manetti was stopped on Oct. 13 for using the acceleration lane near Sesto Fiorentino and received a €430 fine, a 10‑point deduction, and a two‑month suspension later imposed by the Prefecture.
- The document records that Manetti reported a dizzy spell due to low blood pressure, requested an ambulance, and was assisted by medical personnel at the scene.
- According to the official reply, two cars arrived with Giani and councillor Alessio Spinelli, who asked officers for information on a temporary permit to reach work and on possible avenues of appeal.
- Records show Manetti met the Prefect that day for explanations on the suspension procedure, then filed an appeal on Oct. 31, paid the fine and withdrew it on Nov. 10, with the case closed on Nov. 11 as critics stress the timing on election‑count day.
