Overview
- Vittorio Codeluppi, appointed on July 29 to lead the public water utility SAL, acknowledged the short clip and apologized for its effect.
- He says the footage was recorded near Stuttgart on a German autobahn without speed limits during Ferragosto, arguing no traffic infraction.
- The speedometer shows about 252 km/h in the dashboard video shared on social media on Friday night.
- Unresolved questions include who filmed the clip and whether a phone was used during driving; Codeluppi says his smartphone was in a neck-mounted holder.
- Lega and Fratelli d’Italia call the conduct inopportune and diseducativo and seek immediate resignation, which he has not offered.
