A judge in Italy issued an arrest warrant on the 23 February 2010 for one of the country’s richest businessmen and the Guardia di Finanza placed the telecoms company he founded under investigation in a probe into alleged money laundering and tax evasion.

Silvio Scaglia, the founder of Fastweb, Italy’s second-largest broadband and internet services provider, was one of 56 people for whom arrest warrants were issued in what investigators in Rome said was a probe into suspicious telecoms contracts and tax evasion between 2003 and 2006.
