A Sicilian regional
councillor for Silvio Berlusconi's centre-right Forza Italia
(FI) party, Stefano Pellegrino, has been placed under
investigation on suspicion of vote buying, sources said Friday.
He is under investigation in a probe which led to the arrest
of three businessmen for allegedly funding the family of mafia
fugitive Matteo Messina Denaro.
Pellegrino was served a warrant to appear before police.
