(ANSA) – ROME, JUN 24 – Tourism Minister Daniela Santanché
said Saturday that if she is asked to report to parliament on
allegations against her business practices she will be proud to
do so.

Asked about media reports she had run businesses that allegedly
failed to pay suppliers and dismissed workers without giving
them redundancy payments that were due to them, and calls by the
rightwing League party for her to clarify matters, the leading
member of Premier Giorgia Meloni’s rightwing Brothers of Italy
(FdI) party said: “I have been in politics for 20 years, do you
see my face? I have always put it there, and put my hand up, if
the request is formalised that I have to go and report to
Parliament I will be proud and proud to do so.”
Santanché was speaking on the sidelines of an event in Ischia.

Then, asked if she feared an indictment, the minister replied:
“I have not (even) received a notice of investigation, I do not
understand how one can speak of an indictment”. (ANSA).
