Rome Mayor Ignazio Marino met
Thursday with Raffaele Cantone, the national anti-corruption
czar, amid reports of corruption and mafia infiltration of the
city government under the previous administration. It's believed
that hundreds of millions of euros were diverted into mafia
hands from the cash-strapped Rome government. Police arrested 37
people on Wednesday in the probe that include such prominent
right-wing politicians as ex-mayor Gianni Alemanno, a former
cabinet minister under ex-premier Silvio Berlusconi.
