In this photo taken on April 8, 2010, Venice's Mayor Giorgio Orsoni is pictured at Ca Farsetti palace in Venice, Italy. Italian authorities Wednesday, June 4, 2014 have arrested the mayor of Venice and 35 others in a sweeping corruption investigation related to the construction of underwater barriers to protect the historic city from flooding. Italian financial police confirmed Mayor Giorgio Orsoni's arrest Wednesday but had no further details. The arrests were the result of a three-year investigation by the financial police that led to the arrest last summer of the head of the consortium building the ambitious but long-delayed system of so-called Moses barriers. Authorities say 20 million euros ($27 million) was diverted abroad for the purpose of bribing politicians. (AP Photo/Luigi Costantini)

Congolese children are welcomed by their Italian adoptive relatives as they disembark after landing from Kinshasa, at Ciampino's military airport, on the outskirts of Rome, Wednesday, May 28, 2014. The children ran excitedly into their parents' arms after an overnight flight from Congo. Italy had worked since late last year to allow them to reach Italy. Congo had suspended all international adoptions citing fears some adopted children might later have been trafficked. None of the allegations involved adoptions by Italians. The parents were forced to leave Congo without their children after their visas expired. (AP Photo/Riccardo De Luca)

Rene Bruelhart, director of the Financial Information Authority, meets the journalists at the Vatican. Monday, May 14, 2014. The Vatican has seen a spike in the number of suspicious financial transactions being reported as its troubled bank goes through its books to review accounts. The Vatican's financial watchdog agency released its annual report Monday. The report showed that there were 202 suspicious transactions reported to the Financial Information Authority in 2013 compared to only six a year earlier and just one in 2011. Five of those 202 were referred onto Vatican prosecutors for possible investigation. Authority Director Rene Bruelhart said the spike doesn't mean that more illicit activity is taking place. He said it just means that new laws and procedures are being implemented and are working to flag potentially problematic transactions that may require further investigation.
