Italy police search Turin Olympic committee offices

Posted on: Friday, 13 January 2006, 05:33 CST

MILAN (Reuters) - Italy's financial police are searching the offices of Turin's Olympic committee as part of a probe into consultancy contracts, sources close to the investigation said on Friday.

Turin prosecutors are probing contracts that the organizing committee TOROC has signed with consultants on different projects, the sources said.

Turin is hosting the Winter Olympics from February 10-26.

Police had no immediate comment and the TOROC declined to comment.

The sources said no-one had been placed under investigation, and prosecutors had not defined what kind of crimes they were looking for. The sources said the probe examined whether the contracts were regular.

Financial police have also gone to the offices of 10 people and companies that acted as consultants, confiscating contracts, the sources added.
