Carabinieri health and safety
(NOE) police on Tuesday seized thousands of patient files from
Basilicata hospitals in relation to the incidence of tumours in
the southern Italian region possibly linked to waste disposal at
ENI's Centro Oli facility which has been implicated in a
criminal probe. Tests of 'bioindicators' are being carried out
to gauge the possible levels of pollution of local farm products
and livestock, sources said. In the oil probe, five people have
been arrested and several others placed under investigation
including the oilman boyfriend of former industry minister
Federica Guidi, Gianluca Gemelli. Guidi quit last week over a
tapped phonecall to Gemelli telling him about a government
amendment that would favour him in the Tempa Rossa oil project.
