Crosetto says agrees with Mantovano, confidence in AISE

(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 14 - Defence Minister Guido Crosetto on Saturday denied Il Fatto Quotidiano's report he had been critical of external intelligence agency AISE and said he agreed fully with cabinet National Security Secretary Alfredo Mantovano in voicing full confidence in the service.
    In a statement, Crosetto said: "Today's statement by Undersecretary Mantovano, which reiterates his full confidence in the services and in particular towards the AISE and its top management, already similar to a statement I made a week ago, was fully agreed between us, in order to refute the dangerous reconstruction of Il Fatto, based on part of the complaint I made to the Perugia Public Prosecutor's Office following the one that uncovered the snake's nest of the dossier".
