Italian finance police on Friday
seized over 151,000 euros in assets from high-profile former
magistrate Antonio Ingroia in relation to a probe into alleged
misappropriation, sources said.
The investigation regards the role the former chief
prosecutor of Palermo had for Sicilia e Servizi, an agency
providing IT services for the region of Sicily.
Ingroia, who also had a brief and unsuccessful political
career, was a liquidator for the agency and them became its
administrator for a spell.
The assets seized are equivalent to a 117,000-euro payment
for Ingroia's duties as liquidator and around 34,000 in travel
and expense reimbursements - money that Ingroia was allegedly
not due, the sources said.
A auditor for the agency is also under investigation,
according to the sources.
