Senate deputy speaker vows to sue anyone attacking her mom

(ANSA) - Rome, January 10 - The deputy speaker of the Italian Senate, Five Star Movement (M5S) MP Paola Taverna, wrote Thursday on Twitter that she would sue anyone who tries to defame her mother.
    The comment came after a Rome court rejected an appeal filed by her mother against Aziende Territoriali per l'Edilizia Residenziale (ATER), which manages public housing projects.
    "As M5S member of parliament, after having paid back over 200,000 euros, I am so clean that they no longer find anything to attack me with except for through those I care about. I will sue anyone who has spread or will spread false or defamatory information on my mother," she said.
