Undersecretary Simona Vicari, a member of the centrist AP group,
is under investigation in a corruption probe that led to the
arrest of shipping businessman Ettore Morace on Friday, sources
said. The allegation concerns a Rolex allegedly given to the
undersecretary by Morace. It is suspected that this is linked to
Vicari presenting an amending lowering value-added tax on
maritime transport from 10% to 4%, saving million of euros for
Morace's company. Vicari has just received notification she is
probed, sources said.
