Mauro Zanin, an Italian arrested for alleged involvement in $111,000 fraud has reportedly committed suicide in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in Abuja.The 52-year-old Italian took his life in a bathroom by strangling himself with a bedsheet in the EFCC detention facility in Abuja on Tuesday, a day before his scheduled arraignment before a Federal High Court in Abuja.The agency confirmed the development in a statement issued by its spokesman, Wilson Uwujiaren.

It reads, “The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC regrets to announce the passing of 52-year-old Italian, Mr. Mauro Zanin, a suspected fraudster two days before he was scheduled to appear in court.“He was found motionless in the bathroom of the Commission’s detention facility in Abuja at about 4.50 am on June 19, 2012. He had apparently committed suicide using his bedsheet.

I feel the guy has reason it that going to hell directly was better than naija cell

They have killed the guy and shared the money joor!

the guy na mumu joor
all he had to do was wave part of the loot at his interrogators
but it must be unmarked $$$ bills [learn from farcrook na]

Brave man..this is exactly what Farouk Lawal shld av done.

They should tell us what happened to that man. He may implicate some crooks, that's why he was killed.

EFCC have either killed the guy or have been negligent . . . .

This one will cost them - big time.

Yet another GEJ failure.

Una no go kill person with laughter.

From the first commentator to the very last, I wan almost laugh enter *infront of Dana aircraft*

Feeling of repentance is far better than guity.

Corruption is a global menance.be it in united states of america,Nigeria any where in d globe.No country is left out.so no country should point accusing fingers to Nigeria only u can see an example of the french man.

I can't believe human beings actually made some of the comments above.SMH.

I don't get it... EFCC must be up to some hanky-panky.. Police in Nigeria are experienced enough to strip you bare naked Belt, Shoe-lace, Tie, Dental Floss before putting you in a cell. how come the bed has sheets, of course he would hang himself but i suspect this story haba.. this is not nollywood EFCC show pictures please

Hunnnn Nigerian they casted some spells on the man using Juju so that everything will look like a suicide

. Mr large mind, that man can't take his life like that. Beside, he's a foreigner. A citizen must have led the way and he followed. In order not to implicate the 2nd Farouk, He was killed.

Yeske!:
