- Guardia di Finanza searched the authority’s Rome headquarters and the members’ homes in four cities, seizing documents, phones, and computers.
- The case centers on what prosecutors describe as a lax handling of public expenses and possible influence over enforcement decisions, with scrutiny of representational spending and cases involving Meta and Ita Airways.
