milan: There is no evidence a deal was finalised, but the allegations, which emerged in February, led prosecutors in Milan to open an investigation and raised questions about the relationship between the League and the Kremlin, according to The Guardian. Conte said We do not know the data or the possible consequences of the Milan probe. In Salvini's absence, the allegations were addressed by the prime minister, Giuseppe Conte, who said no evidence had emerged to diminish the trust he had in all members of the government . Reports earlier this month claimed one of Salvini's aides had endeavoured to strike an oil deal in a Moscow hotel that would have diverted Russian funds to the League to bolster its campaigning before the European elections in May. Salvini did not attend parliament but, in a Facebook Live video on Wednesday, he reiterated his party didn't ask for or take money from anyone . He added The rest is fantasy. Many senators from the League's coalition partner, the populist Five Star Movement M5S were also absent from parliament in protest at Conte agreeing to unblock work on a high-speed rail project linking Italy and France. Let everyone else talk, I'm here to work and deal with real problems Security, immigration, the mafia not spying.
