M5S to table Lotti no-confidence motions (3)

(ANSA) - Rome, March 2 - The anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) on Thursday said it would table no-confidence motions against Sports Minister Luca Lotti in the House and Senate after he was placed under investigation for suspected influence-peddling involving CONSIP, the civil service procurement agency. Lotti, right-hand man of former premier Matteo Renzi, whose cabinet secretary he was in the last government, is being probed along with Renzi's father Tiziano, and others.
    A senior member of the M5S, Deputy House Speaker Luigi Di Maio, said it was "inopportune for Lotti to be in government".
