Italian finance police have
seized 267,000 euros in cash held by an Italian tax judge who
they have accused of corruption in judicial acts in a case
linked to the company Swe-Co.
The cash was found in two security boxes, and was divided
in envelopes that were distinctly related to their supplier,
said preliminary judge Manuela Cannavale.
Police said they also found large sums of cash at the home
and offices of the judge, Luigi Vassallo, bringing the total to
about 300,000 euros.
Wiretaps and testimony from a secretary working at
Vassallo's office helped lead police to the cash discoveries.
Vassallo was arrested on Thursday along with judge Marina
Seregni, who is also accused of corruption.
