The director-general of Lombardy's
industry department, Danilo Maiocchi, has been placed under
investigation along with the former director-general of regional
funding agency Finlombarda, Marco Nicolai, on suspicion of fraud
in releasing public funds to businesses in the northern Italian
region, judicial sources said Wednesday. Finlombarda director
Marco Cirillo is under investigation for suspected corruption.
Tax police carried out searches. The probe is just one of a
welter of investigations into corruption at local-government
offices across Italy in recent years.
