Gabriele Visco, the son of former Italian finance minister Vincenzo Visco, was among four people put under house arrest by finance police on Tuesday in relation to a probe into alleged corruption and influence peddling in Rome, sources said.
The other suspects are two entrepreneurs and a lawyer, the sources said.
The finance police also seized 230,000 euros in assets.
The case regards alleged corruption that led to a public contract worth four million euros going to a firm linked to a construction entrepreneur and attempts to have a person close to that entrepreneur employed by a public agency, the sources said.
