Carabinieri police on Wednesday
searched an office at the Naples courthouse to gather evidence
for a probe into contracts for companies belonging to Campania
businessman Alfredo Romeo.
One of Romeo's companies has the cleaning-and-maintenance
contract for the courthouse.
The office searched was that of Emanuele Caldarera, the
courthouse's cleaning-and-maintenance head, who is also under
investigation, sources said.
Caldarera is set to be suspended, sources said later.
Investigations suspect that Caldarera requested that his
daughter be hired at one of Romeo's companies to release
payments for a Romeo Gestioni that had been frozen by a
predecessor.
Romeo was arrested at the start of this month in a probe into
alleged corruption linked to civil service procurement agency
CONSIP.
Ex-premier Matteo Renzi's father Tiziano and Sports Minister
Luca Lotti are also under investigation in the probe.
