Investigated Salvini for State flights, checks on 35 trips

Former Deputy Prime Minister and former holder of the Interior Ministry Matteo Salvini is under investigation for abuse of office by the prosecutor of Rome, who transmitted the documents to the court of ministers. They write the Corriere della Sera and the daily newspaper. 35 State flights already considered illegitimate by the Court of Accounts, which nevertheless filed the file it had opened, but transmitting the documents to the Rome public prosecutor's office, not finding a loss of revenue. The Court of Auditors took an interest in the matter after an investigation by Repubblica into the combination of many institutional meetings of Salvini around Italy with rallies or other party events in the same area. Transfers carried out on board aircraft supplied to the police or fire brigade . The use of those aircraft was considered illegitimate by the accounting judges because the police and fire brigades are reserved for the performance of institutional or training tasks and not for the so-called State flights, for which another regulation applies.
