Liguria Governor Giovanni Toti, under
house arrest in a probe into alleged fraud and corruption, will
be questioned by prosecutors in Genoa on Thursday May 23,
sources said Tuesday.
Toti last Thursday reiterated his innocence and said he would be
able to show his management of the northwestern Italian region
was clean.
The case regards alleged bribes in which cash for an election
campaign was exchanged for favours, including the extension of a
port terminal concession.
Like Toti, logistics businessman Aldo Spinelli - the former
chairman of Genoa and Livorno soccer clubs - was put under house
arrest last Tuesday, while former Genoa Port Authority President
Paolo Signorini was placed under custody in jail.
