The son of the late leader of Kosovo's fight for independence, Ibrahim Rugova, was among 10 people arrested on Wednesday by European Union police on suspicion of organized crime involving the Italian embassy.

The EU's law and order mission in the young Balkan state said charges included organized crime, trading in influence and fraud against Italy's diplomatic mission in the capital, Pristina.

Local media reports said the group was suspected of selling coveted Schengen visas issued by the embassy.
