Abruzzo Governor Luciano
D'Alfonso has been placed under investigation for suspected
corruption, bid-rigging and abuse of office in a graft probe
involving another 15 officials and businessmen, judicial sources
said Thursday. Homes are being searched across Abruzzo after a
search in the regional government HQ, the sources said. The
probe concerns a tender to restore the regional government's HQ
in regional capital L'Aquila, which was ruled unsafe after the
catastrophic earthquake that killed over 300 people in 2009.
After an extremely lengthy process, the 13-million-euro tender
was won by the Isernia-based Edil Costruzioni Generali Srl
company. D'Alfonso denied wrongdoing and said he was ready to
collaborate with authorities.
