A top tax cop was promised 2.5
million euros to influence inspections and criminal probes on
the MOSE flood barriers in Venice, according to his arrest
warrant released to the press Wednesday.
Finance Guard General Emilio Spaziante, now retired, was one
of 35, including Mayor Giorgio Orsoni, arrested on suspicion of
involvement in an alleged 25-million-euro tender-rigging for the
massive, near-completed project to protect the lagoon city.
Spaziante eventually received half a million euros which he
allegedly split with two of the other people arrested, the
warrant said.
