Naples Mayor Luigi de
Magistris on Monday took a swipe at Deputy Premier and Interior
Minister Matteo Salvini for sometimes wearing State police
attire at events.
"I don't rule out the hypothesis that, in Salvini's delirium
of omnipotence, he really thinks he has become a policeman, a
sort of political head of the police," de Magistris said via
Facebook.
"I could suggest some investigative paths to pursue.
"Investigate yourself as the leader the League to find the 49
million euros that, according to the judiciary, were illegally
taken away from the Italian people".
This comment refers to a case of fraudulent use of party
funds which has seen League founder Umberto Bossi and the
party's former treasurer convicted at the first-instance trial
level.
The Naples Mayor also accused Salvini of "political thought
characterised by racial discrimination and xenophobia".
He said that Salvini had a "great sense of opportunism which
is used unscrupulously against the weakest".
