M5S MP reports Renzi-Berlusconi pact to prosecutors

(see related story on Napolitano) (ANSA) - Rome, November 10 - An MP for the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) on Monday said he has reported to prosecutors the so-called Nazareno pact between Premier Matteo Renzi and Silvio Berlusconi, the leader of the opposition centre-right Forza Italia party. The pact, which Democratic Party (PD) leader Renzi reached with Berlusconi in January, a month before be became premier, is for a new election law and an overhaul of Italy's costly, slow-moving political machinery. "I have deposited a petition at the Rome prosecutors' office to establish the existence and contents of the Nazareno pact," said M5S MP Andrea Colletti. "I asked them to verify whether the pact was effectively predestined to illegitimately pilot the reforms taking place in the country, and to decide who to nominate as the next president".
    Renzi and three-time premier Berlusconi have repeatedly dismissed speculation that the pact features an agreement on who will replace President Giorgio Napolitano.
