The investigation goes back to before the summer. Yesterday were his colleagues, policemen of the ninth section of the squad, who are investigating the crimes against the public administration,
to arrest Joseph Falcone, 56, office immigration inspector of the police and the autonomic police union leader (Wis) . The charge is corruption and the policeman is now under house arrest. According to the survey coordinated by the prosecutor Giovanni Polizzi, he would get gifts in exchange for help on the practices of his office. The investigation records documenting more
episodes of “bribes”.
In the evening the commissioner Antonio De Jesu said : “The survey was done inside the police station, and this shows that we have the will and the capacity to pursue these behaviors.

himself appointed the two sub commissioners, and one of these is the inspector arrested yesterday.
