Liguria Governor Giovanni Toti was
taken to finance police barracks in Genoa on Thursday to be
questioned by investigators probing the corruption case in
relation to which he was put under house arrest earlier this
month.
Last week the centre-right politician reiterated his innocence
and said he would be able to show his management of the
northwestern Italian region was clean.
The case regards alleged bribes in which cash for an election
campaign was exchanged for favours, including the extension of a
port terminal concession.
Like Toti, logistics businessman Aldo Spinelli - the former
chairman of Genoa and Livorno soccer clubs - was put under house
arrest, while former Genoa Port Authority President Paolo
Signorini was placed under custody in jail.
