(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 7 - Justice Minister Carlo Nordio said
Tuesday he was "perplexed" about the timing of the house arrest
of Liguria Governor Giovanni Toti in a graft probe noting that
the probe had started three years ago.
"I don't know the facts and as a defendants' rights advocate I
always think of the presumption of innocence, But I seem to have
understood that it is a case of facts that date back several
years and that the probe was not born today but some time ago,"
he said. (ANSA).
