They conveythat there's a new wind blowing in Italy, and that those whosteal and corrupt will be prosecuted to the last day and cent",Renzi added. "At eight-o'clock on Thursday morning, we willbring four small, but weighty changes to the penal code. Theminimum penalty for corruption will be raised from four to sixyears. Therefore, even if you reach a plea bargain, you'll haveto do a little time", Renzi warned.
