Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 23 - Liguria Governor Giovanni Toti was taken to finance police barracks in Genoa on Thursday to be questioned by investigators probing the corruption case in relation to which he was put under house arrest earlier this month.
    Last week the centre-right politician 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, while former Genoa Port Authority President Paolo Signorini was placed under custody in jail. (ANSA).
