Italian police on Tuesday arrested
nine people on suspicion of committing fraud in obtaining the
government's 500 euros 'culture bonus' for 18-year-olds.
The nine people under investigation by the Naples Public
Prosecutor's Office, on whom the Guardia di Finanza (tax police)
of Naples notified warrants this morning, are allegedly involved
in a fraud at the university and research ministry, specifically
concerning the '18app' culture bonus.
The tax police, who are carrying out seizures and searches in
Ercolano, in the province of Naples, were instructed by a
preliminary investigations judge (GIP) to notify three arrests
in prison, three house arrests, and four residence obligations.
Ercolano is the site of Herculaneum, the ancient Roman city
buried and preserved along with Pompeii by Vesuvius in 79 AD.
