The Copasir presidency office has decided to ask Prime Minister Mario Draghi to activate an internal investigation into the case of the meeting between the secretary of Iv Matteo Renzi and the executive of the secret services Marco Mancini in a motorway restaurant, documented from the “Report” transmission.
The decision of the Committee dates back to the session last Tuesday, after the hearing of the director of Dis Gennaro Vecchione (who yesterday Draghi replaced with Elisabetta Belloni), dedicated to the Renzi-Mancini case. The story has long been at the center of political controversy, with the 5Stelle in the front row asking for clarification on the behavior of the leader of Italia Viva. Starting with Giuseppe Conte: “When I met Mancini I don’t remember having done so in a motorway restaurant, but in its own institutional headquarters,” said the former prime minister in recent days while his party presented a parliamentary question. «We have reached such a farcical situation that Matteo Renzi would like us to believe that it is normal to meet a 007 agent in a motorway restaurant. Stuff not to be believed … », declared Filippo Scerra, deputy of the 5 Star Movement and vice president of the Group in the Chamber. «The directives of the undersecretary with responsibility for the Services, Franco Gabrielli, specify how the components of the Services can meet journalists and politicians only for reasons of service and with the prior authorization of the Copasir top management. So we believe it is legitimate to ask Renzi for the necessary explanations for a meeting that we continue to consider completely inappropriate. What did the two say? “.
Copasir also asks for it, which in the next session, the president Raffaele Volpi informs, will initiate the procedure provided for by article 34 of the law on intelligence which provides that the parliamentary body, “if, on the basis of the elements acquired in the exercise of its functions, resolutions to proceed with the verification of the correctness of the conduct put in place by members or former members of the information and security bodies, may request the President of the Council of Ministers to order the carrying out of internal investigations “.
