An offshore partner of a
Northern League regional councillor held in a Lombardy
healthcare scandal has been arrested in Miami and will shortly
be extradited to Italy, judicial sources said Friday.
Stefano Lorusso, 53, was picked up in a Milan probe
codenamed Smile that has led to the arrest of 21 people for
suspected kickbacks to get lucrative dental-service contracts
from Lombardy's regional government.
Lorusso is said to be a partner in several offshore
companies of former Northern League regional councillor Fabio
Rizzi, ex-chair of the regional health committee, and his fixer
Mario Longo.
