Democratic Party (PD) leader Matteo
Renzi said Thursday that "now that this magnificent media show
is over", referring to the illegal publication of a wiretap in
which he tells his father to tell the truth, "...we want the
truth" on the CONSIP civil-service procurement agency graft
case. "Those who broke the law must pay," he said. Renzi's
father Tiziano is suspected of influence-peddling in the case.
In the wiretap, the PD leader and ex-premier urges his father to
tell the whole truth about an alleged meeting with the
businessman arrested for being at the centre of the probe,
Alfredo Romeo - a meeting Tiziano Renzi denies happened. The PD
leader added that the PD did not plan on passing new legislation
cracking down on the use of wiretaps, but their abuse should be
stamped out, with "everyone respecting the law".
