Santanchè: “I am absolutely confident that there will be no indictment”

"Don't be afraid of not having evil," said the Minister of Tourism

ROME – “Do not be afraid of evil. The possibility of an indictment for now is an accusation. So I am absolutely confident that this will not happen.” This was said by the Minister of Tourism, Daniela Santanchè, guest of ‘Giù la maschera’ on Rai Radio 1, answering the question whether a possible indictment would have an impact on his activity as minister and on the possibility to consider resignation.

The Milan prosecutor’s office has, in fact, filed the request for the minister to be sent to trial. The crime hypothesis for the Minister of Tourism is that of fraud against INPS, an accusation that also concerns his partner Dimitri Kunz D’Asburgo and the external manager Paolo Giuseppe Concordia. The investigation refers to the alleged irregularities in the use of the Covid 19 exemption redundancy fund: 126 thousand euros of contributions for 20 thousand and 117 hours of undue cash in favor of companies in the Visibilia group, from May 2020 to February 2022.
