Milan's mayor denies wrongdoing in a corruption probe into the city's construction boom

Toronto Star6 days ago
MILAN (AP) — Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala on Monday said he would not step down in the face of a sweeping probe into the city's massive urban development over the last two decades, saying, 'My hands are clean.' The city's top urban development official, however, resigned while denying wrongdoing.
Milan prosecutors last week announced a widespread investigation into the real estate boom that has seen skyscrapers transform the city's skyline and entire neighborhoods rebuilt, including the construction of an Olympic village for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Games.

Powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim rejects outreach by South's new president

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un rebuffed overtures by South Korea's new liberal government, saying Monday that North Korea has no interests in talks with South Korea no matter what proposal its rival offers. Kim Yo Jong's comments suggest again that North Korea, now preoccupied with its expanding cooperation with Russia, has no intentions of returning to diplomacy with South Korea and the U.S. anytime soon. But experts said North Korea could change its course if it thinks it cannot maintain the same booming ties with Russia when the Russia-Ukraine war nears an end.
