Hitting Arianna is like hitting me says Meloni

(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 27 - Premier Giorgia Meloni says in a new book excerpted Sunday that hitting her sister Arianna is like hitting herself in reference to a Bari probe into a former employee of Italy's biggest bank Intesa Sanpaolo who allegedly illegally accessed thousands of tax files belonging to politicians, VIPs, footballers and showbiz figures.
    "When this news came out, my sister sent me a photo of her bank account statement. There were 2,100 euros. She wrote to me: 'If they had asked me, I would have told you how much I had in the account', with a smiley face," the premier says in veteran star Rai journalist Bruno Vespa's latest book, Hitler and Mussolini.
    The fatal idyll that shocked Europe and Italy's central role in the new Europe.
    Meloni goes on: "I think they are targeting Arianna because she doesn't have the protections that I can have, but hitting her is like hitting me.
    "Unfortunately for them, they are dealing with another person who has no skeletons in the closet". (ANSA).
