Far-right group CasaPound on
Tuesday denied that tax police had inspected their central Rome
HQ Monday on the instructions of the Audit Court which is
allegedly set to order their eviction from the premises where
they have been squatting for years.
"There was no inspection in the building at Via Napoleone III
8 in Rome," CasaPound Italia President Gianluca Iannone said,
"categorically denying" the report.
"There really isn't any limits on fake news any more," said
Iannone.
Centre-left Democratic Party MP Roberto Morassut claimed
CasaPound militants had stopped the tax police from clearing the
building.
"The CasaPound militants threatened the Finance Guard agents
who wanted to clear the building in the centre of Rome that the
neofascist organisation has been occupying illegally for years.
"'If you come in it will be a bloodbath', they allegedly told
the police," Morassut said, calling on Interior Minister Matteo
Salvini to show "the same zeal with which he sends bulldozers
onto poor wretches' huts," referring to Roma camp clearings.
