Geneva airport security chief arrested, prosecutor's office says

GENEVA (Reuters) - The head of security at Geneva airport in Switzerland has been arrested in a corruption investigation, the Geneva prosecutor's office said in a statement on Wednesday.

Police raided several sites on Wednesday, including at the airport, as part of an investigation that began in February into the awarding of a contract to a Geneva security company, the statement said.

The head of the security company, which was not named, was also arrested.

Nobody was immediately available to comment at the airport press office.
