Senate Speaker Pietro Grasso declared inadmissible the part of a motion presented by the left-wing MDP party calling for Sports Minister Luca Lotti to be suspended over a corruption probe related to civil-service procurement agency CONSIP. Lotti, who is in under investigation in the case, denies any wrongdoing. The MDP is a splinter group of Premier Paolo Gentiloni's centre-left Democratic Party (PD) that is part of the ruling coalition.
