Rome finance police have searched the
offices and homes of public officials and companies over a
corruption probe related to calls for tender in the
telecommunications and computer sectors by State-owned
technology company Sogei Spa , the ministries of interior and
security, the State attorney's office in the Italian capital
said on Tuesday.
The companies involved in the search operation included Digital
Value Spa and Olidata Spa.
Late on Monday, a manager at Sogei was arrested together with an
entrepreneur on corruption charges as part of the investigation
coordinated by Rome State attorneys.
The two men were caught red handed by finance police while
exchanging 15,000 euros and the money was seized by security
officials, investigative sources said.
