Italian Tax police on Friday found
snakes guarding the accounts of a northern Italian company they
had come to inspect. (ANSA)
Boa constrictors and a python were among the reptiles
watching over a "parallel" set of books in the storehouse of a
metal-working company near the city of Belluno.
"There were splendid examples of empire boa constrictors,
some of them about three metres long, a royal python and another
10 reptiles" in glass cases placed on top of the allegedly
falsified accounts, police said. Forest Rangers and a snake expert were called out from Belluno to
remove the snakes so that the tax police could get at the books and
carry out their inspection.

No comment indeed.
But didn't the glass cases somewhat defeat the assumed purpose?
Curiouser and curiouser...
Tony Blair used to deploy Peter Mandelson in much the same way
Was anyone able to speak to them in Parseltongue?
Was one of them an adder, perchance?
Ok, I'll get me coat...
