Probe your party-de Magistris to Salvini

(ANSA) - Naples, January 21 - Naples Mayor Luigi de Magistris on Monday took a swipe at Deputy Premier and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini for sometimes wearing State police attire at events. "I don't rule out the hypothesis that, in Salvini's delirium of omnipotence, he really thinks he has become a policeman, a sort of political head of the police," de Magistris said via Facebook. "I could suggest some investigative paths to pursue.
    "Investigate yourself as the leader the League to find the 49 million euros that, according to the judiciary, were illegally taken away from the Italian people".
    This comment refers to a case of fraudulent use of party funds which has seen League founder Umberto Bossi and the party's former treasurer convicted at the first-instance trial level. The Naples Mayor also accused Salvini of "political thought characterised by racial discrimination and xenophobia".
    He said that Salvini had a "great sense of opportunism which is used unscrupulously against the weakest".
