Italian police on Tuesday impounded
famed Rome restaurant Assunta Madre, in the central Via Giulia,
and arrested six people including the owner, a bank manager and
an accountant in a money-laundering probe. The six are suspected
of falsely claiming assets and laundering money of illegal
provenance, judicial sources said. Numerous assets, premises and
current accounts are being seized in the probe, sources said.
Assunta Madre is frequented by showbiz personalities and soccer
players. Details of the operation will be released at an 11 a.m.
press conference.
