Maria Rosaria Boccia Withdraws From Campania Race After Second Notice of Investigation

The Pompei entrepreneur remains under a Rome probe tied to the Sangiuliano case.

Overview

  • She announced her withdrawal in a letter to Stefano Bandecchi, for whose Dimensione Bandecchi list she was running for regional council.
  • She said she received a second avviso di garanzia on the evening of Nov. 4 and cited it as the reason for stepping aside.
  • The Rome prosecutor is investigating her for alleged illicit interference in private life in concert with a journalist.
  • A judge in late October ordered the preventive seizure of an audio of a private conversation between Gennaro Sangiuliano and his wife, leading to its removal from her social profiles and an online outlet after a complaint by a former culture minister.
  • A court hearing is scheduled for Feb. 9, 2026 in proceedings that include accusations of stalking, bodily injury, illicit interference and defamation, and prosecutors have requested indictment after closing a prior inquiry in July, including a chapter on alleged false statements in her résumé for event work.
