Finance police on Wednesday raided
the offices of the transport ministry, the public works
authority in Liguria and Spea Engineering in a probe into the
August 14 collapse of Genoa's Morandi Bridge that killed 43,
sources said.
The police seized documents at all the offices, the sources
said.
The raids took place in Rome, Milan, Florence and Genoa,
sources said.
A probe has been opened against person or persons unknown in
the collapse, which has been blamed on design flaws and poor
maintenance.
Genoa Archbishop Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco on Wednesday said
no to all "partisan point scoring" on the disaster.
Bagnasco, who is also president of the European bishops, said
it could "hamper or slow down recovery and improvement" after
the collapse.
The government has pointed the finger at previous
administrations in the bridge collapse.
On Tuesday starchitect Renzo Piano, who is from Genoa,
presented the city with a plan for a new bridge.
