Mafia bank fraud investigation moves to Switzerland

Investigations into an online money-laundering ring have moved from Italy to Switzerland.

Swiss police are looking into allegations that Sicilian Mafia bosses moved $1bn in EU subsidies through Swiss bank accounts using a fake internal portal linked to the Banco di Silicia.

Police searched the Lausanne offices of a banking group and the home of one of the employees, but refused to offer any more details.

Italian police announced at the end of last week that they had launched an investigation into the online bank fraud by the Costa Nostra. The group enlisted the help of employees at the regional treasury and telecoms agency to intercept money as it was transferred to the banks.
