Carabinieri police on Tuesday
searched the homes and office of the head of Premier Matteo
Renzi's centre-left Democratic Party (PD) in the southern
Campania region.
ANSA sources said the police searched Stefano Graziano's
residences in Rome and in the town of Teverola, near Caserta on
suspicion of collusion with the Camorra mafia.
The politician, who is also a Campania regional councillor,
is under investigation in relation to a probe that led to nine
arrests on Tuesday, including that of restaurateur and
businessman Alessandro Zagaria.
Investigators are scrutinizing Zagaria's alleged backing of
Graziano's electoral campaign.
