Highlights: Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said this when speaking in Brussels on the possible sale of Agi to the Angelucci group. Meloni: "I feared that Italy has now become the home of fake news. I don't know anything about what Eni is doing with Agi. I'm not interested in the matter. "The stakeholders must do their part in the national interest, Meloni added. "I wonder if it is normal for a subsidiary to have an agency. This could be a limitation of freedom of the press," she said. The sale is expected to be completed by the end of the year, according to sources at the Italian oil giant Eni. The deal is worth an estimated $16.5 billion. They added that the deal is not likely to be announced until after the European Union summit in May. The Italian government has said it will not comment on the sale until after it is finalized.

"The Agi story is an affair about which I have read so many falsehoods that I feared that Italy has now become the home of fake news. I don't know anything about what Eni is doing with Agi: I'm not interested in the matter. (HANDLE)
