Salvini suggests priest 'wants Casamonica's 8x1,000'

(see related)(ANSA) - Rome, August 21 - The leader of the anti-immigrant, anti-euro Northern League party suggested Friday a Rome priest agreed to officiate at the funeral of a known mafia boss because he wanted to encourage the clan to donate money to the Catholic Church.
    "Lavish funeral for a Rome clan boss, the parish priest says 'I'd do it again'," Matteo Salvini wrote on Facebook.
    "Why? Maybe the boss's 0.08% whet his appetite," he wrote in reference to Italy's 0.08% personal income tax devolution to organized religions.
    Taxpayers can decide which organized religion, if any, to donate their quota to.
