The 5-Star Movement (M5S) on
Friday decided to go ahead with online consultations over
whether to vote on a Senate panel to lift League leader and
Interior Minister Matteo Salvini's parliamentary immunity to
face kidnapping charges over migrants held on board the Diciotti
coast guard ship in a standoff with the EU last August.
A possible date for the poll is Monday February 18, sources
said.
The M5S is split on whether to vote on the immunity panel for
or against allowing the kidnapping charges against their ally
Salvini to proceed.
