Italian police on Monday arrested 45
people and cited 71 more in a probe into a suspected Mafia scam
on fuel oil across Italy.
The op, led by prosecutors from Potenza and Lecce, spanned the
provinces of Salerno, Brescia, Naples, Caserta, Cosenza and
Taranto.
Those implicated are accused of dodging duties and VAT on diesel
and other fuel oil.
Police said the alleged scam had created what they called a
"gold mine" between Campania and Puglia.
