Matteo Renzi's father said
Wednesday that he was innocent after he and the former premier's
mother were put under house arrest this week in relation to
accusations of fraudulent bankruptcy and issuing fake invoices.
Tiziano Renzi and Laura Bovoli, the parents of the Democratic
Party (PD) Senator, are set to be questioned by a preliminary
investigations judge on Monday, according to a report by La
Nazione.
"I will face the trial in the courtroom as a citizen who has
been pre-emptively massacred in the media, but also as a citizen
with no criminal record who asserts his innocence," Tiziano
Renzi said via Facebook.
"I have never issued false invoices... I have not gone
bankrupt, we don't have workers off the books.
"The newspapers are full of reconstructions of the
accusations.
"I say here (and unfortunately at the moment I can only do so
here) that these reconstructions are FALSE".
Renzi's parents, meanwhile, have been granted a request to
move from their own home near Florence to the residence of one
of their daughters for "family reasons".
