Defence Undersecretary Domenico
Rossi on Tuesday quit after a TV show showed MP Mario Caruso
formally hired his son as a favour but the young man doesn't
have to turn up to work.
The show, Le Iene (Reservoir Dogs), which regularly performs
stings on politicians, allegedly also showed that the son's
salary came out of his father's pocket.
Rossi called the show's claims "unfounded charges, harmful to
my reputation".
Lower House Speaker laura Boldrini said "I will weigh action
over Le Iene's claims".
