    "I have spoken with the (regional) president, my client is calm and counts on being able to explain everything," Savi as he left Toti's flat with the governor and finance police.
    "He will continue to work. As we have been able to see up to now, these are all deeds that we can give an explanation to within the framework of legitimate activities of administration for the public interest".
    When asked for a comment by reporters, Toti said he could not speak about the case.
    Sources said finance police searched Toti's Genoa flat in the governor's presences before he was taken to finance police barracks in the city. (ANSA).
