Giovanni Toti has resigned as the President of the Liguria Region after 80 days under house arrest due to corruption charges.

His resignation was announced by his close aide, Giacomo Giampedrone, who delivered the letter to the regional office.

In his two-page letter, Toti expressed his responsibility to call for early elections within three months, emphasizing the need for the citizens to decide their future.

He praised his coalition for their support and highlighted the completion of significant projects, including the reopening of the Via dell'Amore.

Toti's resignation opens the door for a potential revocation of his house arrest, as he faces serious allegations involving corruption linked to port concessions and illegal financing.

His lawyer plans to file for the revocation of the house arrest soon.
