A fresh probe into civil-service
procurement agency CONSIP was opened Tuesday, into external
consultants, judicial sources said as police seized documents
from the agency.
An existing probe into suspected graft has seen the arrest of
Campania businessman Alfredo Romeo on suspicion of bribing
ex-CONSIP executive Marco Gasparri.
Judicial sources said the second probe has nothing to do with
the first one.
In the second one, investigators suspect that "excessive"
consultancies were given out, both regarding the number of posts
and the value of the contracts.
In the first probe, the father of ex-premier Matteo Renzi,
Tiziano, has been placed under investigation for suspected
influence-peddling and Sports Minister Luca Lotti is being
probed for allegedly revealing judicial secrets.
