The Turin Organising Committee (TOROC) 2006 president Valentino Castellani told aroundtherings.com that he is not surprised about the raid, which follows a raid last week at Agenzia Torino – the public agency building infrastructure for the Games - over a bribery investigation involving a tunnel project.
Castellani says no specific allegations have been made against TOROC or CONI that merited a raid by the financial police.
"There is no hypothesis of legal offence," says the TOROC chief.
He says a number of documents were photocopied during the police visit, but he described them as ordinary and said the papers could have been furnished to the authorities without a raid.
