(ANSA) - Rome, May 17 - The publication of a wiretap in which
Democratic Party (PD) leader Matteo Renzi urges his father
Tiziano to tell the whole truth in a probe into civil-service
procurement agency CONSIP is an "attack on democracy," PD
chairman Matteo Orfini said Wednesday. He said the publication
of the wiretap "has the sole aim of striking the country's main
party". Tiziano Renzi is under investigation for suspected
influence-peddling and has denied meeting the arrested
businessman at the centre of the probe, Alfredo Romeo. Former
premier Renzi is heard on the wiretap telling his father to tell
the truth about an alleged meeting with Romeo, which Renzi
senior is heard denying took place. The ex-premier also urges
his father not to tell police that his mother was there too.
