Ilaria Salis reported that the police had conducted searches at the European Parliament offices in Strasbourg and Brussels. She wrote that the investigation concerned the alleged misappropriation and diversion of over 4.3 million euros of European public funds by the Identity and Democracy group during the legislative term 2019-2024. Salis recalled that the now-dissolved group included Matteo Salvini's League and Marine Le Pen's National Rally, which in the meantime had merged, along with other parties, into the so-called Patriots. She criticized the League, recalling the 49 million confiscated for the electoral reimbursement fraud, and argued that the Patriots, while often accusing others, seemed to have a controversial relationship with public funds. She specified that it was up to the investigations to ascertain any responsibilities. #ParlamentoEuropeo #FondiPubblici #Corruzione (translated)
