ROME - Italy’s coalition partners clashed angrily on Friday over mutual allegations of corruption, with relations between the League and 5-Star Movement at their lowest ebb since they formed a government last May.
The coalition was thrown into turmoil on Thursday when Armando Siri, an economic adviser to League leader Matteo Salvini, was placed under investigation for allegedly accepting bribes to promote the interests of renewable energy companies. “...Even today the League is threatening to bring down the government ... I’m really stunned,” 5-Star leader Luigi Di Maio wrote on Facebook.
“The League wants to govern well and for a long time in the interests of Italians. Thoughts of a government crisis can only to be found in Di Maio’s head,” he said. On the same day the bribe accusations emerged, allegations of wrongdoing also surfaced against the 5-Star mayor of Rome, Virginia Raggi, with L’Espresso news magazine releasing what it said were recordings of her urging the head of the city rubbish-collection firm to alter its accounts.
