'Justice will run its course' on Pompeii says Franceschini

(ANSA) - Rome, March 4 - Italian Culture Minister Dario Franceschini on Wednesday said "justice would run its course" in a probe implicating the former extraordinary commissioner for the Pompeii archaeological site, Marcello Fiori.
    Naples tax police seized 5.77 million euros in assets linked to Fiori, ANSA sources said. The operation was conducted at the end of a probe which also implicated nine officials from the culture ministry and region of Campania. The investigation concerns works for a show at Pompeii's Large Theatre in 2010. Investigators suspect that the contracts were awarded without a public competition and were beyond the remit of emergency powers granted to the commissioner to safeguard the site.
