(ANSA) - Rome, April 5 - Finance police on Wednesday set
about executing a warrant to seize nine million euros in assets
from former public-works chief Angelo Balducci. The move regards
a probe into alleged corruption linked to several major events
in Italy, a statement said. These events included the 2009 G8
summit - which was originally meant to be held at La Maddalena
in Sardinia but was moved to L'Aquila to give the area an
economic boost after a devastating earthquake - the 2009 world
swimming championships in Rome and the celebrations for the
150th anniversary of Italian unification in 2011.
