The mayor of Rome had to fire the city’s traffic and parking chief after he was caught committing, of all things, parking violations.
Giovanni Catanzaro got canned after a newspaper reported that he parked in a no parking zone and even put an invalid handicapped permit belonging to an 86-year-old woman on display to avoid being towed.
A spokesperson for mayor Walter Veltroni said Catanzaro had been relieved of his duties.
In the end, it wasn’t just his car, but his career he put in park.
