League MEP Buonanno dies in car crash

(ANSA) - Rome, June 6 - Northern League MEP and mayor of Borgosesia Gianluca Buonanno has been killed in a road accident aged 50.

Buonanno was elected to parliament with the anti-migrant and Euroskeptic Northern League in 2008 before being elected to the European Parliament in 2014.
