Italy’s Deputy PM Matteo Salvini’s efforts to quell the fallout over reports his League Party was soliciting Russian financing suffered a setback when the country’s prime minister contradicted his recollection of events.
Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said that Salvini’s office had invited Gianluca Savoini, a Salvini ally at the centre of the flap, to a dinner with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Rome. Salvini had previously said that he hadn’t invited him and didn’t know why Savoini was at the July 4 dinner.
