Retired general nabbed for 'rigged' job competitions

(ANSA) - Naples, October 17 - A retired army general was arrested in Naples Wednesday in connection with rigged competitions for volunteers that gave access to the police and armed forces, ANSA sources said.
    Former general Luigi Masiello, who runs a training school, was placed under house arrest.
    Police issued 15 arrest warrants in all.
    When tax police arrived at the school to arrest Masiello, he threw away his cellphone, police said.
