The anti-establishment 5-Star
Movement (M5S) on Thursday said it would table no-confidence
motions against Sports Minister Luca Lotti in the House and
Senate after he was placed under investigation for suspected
influence-peddling involving CONSIP, the civil service
procurement agency.
Lotti, right-hand man of former premier Matteo Renzi, whose
cabinet secretary he was in the last government, is being probed
along with Renzi's father Tiziano, and others.
A senior member of the M5S, Deputy House Speaker Luigi Di
Maio, said it was "inopportune for Lotti to be in government".
