Lombardy health scandal man arrested in Miami

(ANSA) - Milan, February 26 - An offshore partner of a Northern League regional councillor held in a Lombardy healthcare scandal has been arrested in Miami and will shortly be extradited to Italy, judicial sources said Friday.
    Stefano Lorusso, 53, was picked up in a Milan probe codenamed Smile that has led to the arrest of 21 people for suspected kickbacks to get lucrative dental-service contracts from Lombardy's regional government.
    Lorusso is said to be a partner in several offshore companies of former Northern League regional councillor Fabio Rizzi, ex-chair of the regional health committee, and his fixer Mario Longo.
