(ANSA) Florence, March 16 - Suspects arrested Monday in a
mushrooming graft scandal gave a tailor-made suit to
Infrastructure Minister Mauruzio Lupi and a Rolex watch to his
son as a graduation present, judicial officials said.
Franco Cavallo, one of the four arrested men said to have a
"close relationship" with Lupi, arranged for a tailor, Vincenzo
Barbato, to cut the suit to measure for the minister, according
to telephone calls cited in the order written by a Florence
judge for the arrest of the four.
Also mentioned in the warrant was a gift by engineer
Stefano Perotti and his wife of a Rolex watch worth 10,350 euros
to the minister's son Luca that was allegedly delivered by
Cavallo.
