The blog of 5-Star Movement (M5S)
leader Beppe Grillo called on Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano
to quit on Monday after dozens were arrested over alleged mafia
involvement in migrant-reception contracts.
Alfano, the head of the centrist AP group, was interior
minister from April 2013 until December 2016 under the
premierships of Enrico Letta and then Matteo Renzi.
"Migrantopoli is a situation that must be dismantled as soon
as possible," read the post, playing on the name of the
Tangentopoli corruption scandal of the early 1990s.
"Reception centres are hens that lay golden eggs".
The post alleged that all the parties of government in recent
years had had relations with Leonardo Sacco, the head of the
Misericordia association in Isola Capo Rizzuto who was among the
detained on Monday.
It also cited other cases and people who are "friends of
Minister Alfano".
"Alfano, enough is enough - resign at once!" it said.
