Deal on compensating bilked savers, Tria line passes

(ANSA) - Rome, April 8 - The government reached a deal Monday with the associations of bilked bank savers on compensating investors, with Economy Minister Giovanni Tria's proposal favoured by 17 out of 19 groups.
    Automatic access for funds will be for those with a taxable income of up to 35,000 euros and liquid assets of up to 100,000 euros.
    The other claimants will be analysed according to major categories and not case by case.
    The measure will be put before cabinet Tuesday at 16:30.
    A flat tax is on its way into the next DEF economic blueprint, sources said, with Deputy Premier and 5-Star leader Luigi Di Maio opening to the other deputy premier, league leader Matteo Salvini, for whom the measure is a key campaign pledge.
