The Milan Public Prosecutor's Office
on Friday requested indictments for Tourism Minister Daniela
Santanchè and two other people, including the minister's
companion Dimitri Kunz, and two companies in her Visibilia
company case strand on alleged aggravated fraud against social
security and pensions agency INPS over the management of the
COVID redundancy fund during the pandemic.
Santanchè, 63, a bigwig in Premier Giorgia Meloni's Brothers of
Italy (FdI) party, has said she will resign if indicted after
recently surviving no-confidence votes in parliament.
As well as the suspected INPS COVID fund fraud, she is the
subject of other probes linked to her former Visibilia
publishing empire involving alleged false accounting, alleged
fraudulent bankruptcy, and alleged money laundering.
