The husband of Italy's first black minister is to run for the anti-migrant party that called her an orangutan.
    Domenico Grispino said he would stand for Interior Minister Matteo Salvini's League party in upcoming local elections at Castelfranco Emilia near Modena.
    His wife, former integration minister Cecile Kyenge of the centre-left Democratic Party, said the marriage was over.
    "I understand the dismay of everybody, including that of the League itself," she said.
    On January 14 League Senator Roberto Calderoli was found guilty by a court in the northern city of Bergamo of calling Kyenge an orangutan in 2013.
    Kyenge, a doctor by profession with Congolese roots, became Italy's first black minister when she served in ex-premier Enrico Letta's government in 2013 and 2014.
    The court ruled that racism was an aggravating factor and sentenced Calderoli to an 18-month jail term at the end of the first-instance trial.
    Rulings in Italy are not considered definitive until the appeals process has been exhausted and prison terms of under two years are usually suspended.
    Kyenge did not stand as a civil plaintiff in the trial and will not get damages.
