(ANSA) - Milan, March 10 - Tax police on Friday raided

10 people are under investigation for false reporting and
misappropriation to the tune of 3 million euros.
Among those probed for false reporting are the former
chairman of the group, Benito Benedini, former CEO Donatella
Treu and the editor-in-chief of the Il Sole 24 Ore daily,
Roberto Napoletano, judicial sources said.
The probe is focused on the suspected fictitious registration
of tens of thousands of digital subscriptions, police said.

judiciary, which it was sure would get to the bottom of things,
and was weighing actions to safeguard shareholders.

also controls a business radio station.
