    (ANSA) - Rome, August 16 - Deputy Premier and Labour and Industry Minister Luigi Di Maio said Thursday that there was no question of the government paying a penalty to Atlantia over its decision to strip its subsidiary, highways company Autostrade per l'Italia, of its concession after the Genoa bridge-collapse disaster.
    "You have to pay the 20-billion-euro penalty if you rip up a contract for no reason," Di Maio told Radio 24.
    "Here, we have to launched the procedure with a reason.
    "If the reason is right, and up to now there are also 40 deaths, I don't think penalties should be paid.
    "If so, it would anger all those people who want justice, not just in Genoa but all over Italy, even more".
