Nine arrested in Sicilian transport graft case. 10 mn euros of rigged contracts say police
Nine people were arrested Tuesday on suspicion of corruption in the Sicilian public-transport sector.
The heads of regional transport company AST were placed under investigation in the probe.
Police said some 10 million euros' worth of public tenders were rigged.
Hirings in the sector were made by politicians, they added.
Sicily Governor Nello Musumeci said he had tried in vain to get AST to remove its head.
