Rome chief of parking gets fired for...umm, illegally parking

Rome’s Chief of parking & traffic, Giovanni Catanzaro was reported by a local newspaper for parking his car in no parking and tow away zones. How did he expect to get away with it? Simple, he put an expired handicapped permit belonging to an 86-year old women on his Alfa Romeo Brera because officials don’t normally tow away vehicles belonging to the disabled for obvious reasons. 

While G-Cat’s taste in cars is good, his actions are in rather poor taste and apparently Rome’s Mayor saw it that way too.  For his efforts, the Chief recieved an all-expense paid trip to the unemployment line.

His application for the scumbag of the week award, however, is likely still pending.
