Oct 15 (Reuters) - Italian tax police raided the offices
of Digital Value DGV.MI and Olidata OLI.MI on Tuesday as
part of a preliminary investigation into alleged public
procurement offences, the Rome Prosecutor's Office said in a
statement.
The Guardia di Finanza are probing alleged corruption in the
procurement of IT and communication services tendered by SOGEI,
an IT company fully owned by Italy's Finance Ministry, as well
as by the Interior and Defence ministries, the statement added.
Shares in IT service provider Digital Value fell by 10.5%
and were halted from trading, while shares in technology
consultant Olidata dropped as much as 8.4%.
Neither of the two companies were immediately available for
comment.
