Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Police have arrested the managing director of Italy's state railway system, Lorenzo Necci, in an investigation into suspected embezzlement of railway funds, media reports quoting judicial sources said yesterday. Mr Necci, 55, has been overseeing a plan to launch a multi-billion dollar high-speed railway which, when it gets off the ground, is expected to be one of Europe's biggest construction projects.
Italian television and news agencies said Mr Necci had been arrested on Sunday on a warrant from magistrates in the north-west coastal town of La Spezia and was being held in jail there. News agencies said Mr Necci was being held on suspicion of offences which included criminal association, corruption, abuse of office, money laundering, false accounting, fraud and embezzlement.
