Grillo expels four M5S activists

(ANSA) - Rome, October 20 - Beppe Grillo on Monday expelled four activists from his anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) after they 'occupied' the stage at the movement's recent Circus Maxiumus rally.
    The four - Giorgio Filosto, Orazio Ciccozzi, Pierfrancesco Rosselli and Daniele Lombardi - "took advantage of their role as security officers to occupy the stage," Grillo wrote on his blog.
    The rebel group unfurled a banner saying #occupapalco (#occupy the stage) to protest Grillo's allegedly high-handed leadership.
    They are the latest in a string of dissidents to be kicked out of the M5S.
