The Umbria chief of the
centre-left Democratic Party (PD), Gianpiero Bocci, and regional
health councillor Luca Barberini were arrested Friday in a probe
into alleged corruption in hirings at a health company.
They were placed under house arrest.
Also placed under house arrest were the head of the health
company, Emilio Duca, and the administrative director of the
same firm.
Police earlier Friday searched the offices of PD Umbria
Governor Catiuscia Marini, former interior undersecretary Bocci,
and Barberini in the health graft probe, judicial sources said.
Sources said the investigation was into a competitive exam at
one of Umbria's health companies.
Six managers of the company are reportedly also involved in
the probe.
The investigation is being led by prosecutors from Perugia.
