MPs from the Democratic Party (PD)
held up placards in a parliamentary session with photos of
Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini next
to an alleged emissary to Moscow who allegedly discussed League
funding skimmed off Russian oil proceeds.
Milan prosecutors opened a probe after reports that
Lombardy-Russia Association President Paolo Savoini met with two
other Italians and three Russian in a Moscow hotel to discuss
siphoning off an alleged 65 million euros from oil profits.
The minister has denied inviting Savoini to take part in two
bilateral meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin
recently.
Before the protest, PD's Emanuele Fiano (Pd) repeated the
party request for the League leader and minister Salvini to
speak before the parliament on the issue of alleged Russian
financing to his party.
