“The deputy prime minister and interior minister Matteo Salvini lied...” rep.repubblica.it/pwa/generale/2…
Last year, we published this story asking why Savoini was in Moscow on an official trip with Salvini. Savoini said he was part of “the minister’s staff” buzzfeednews.com/article/albert… - Salvini denied this was the case as recently as this month
Yesterday, Italian PM Conte told parliament that Savoini was on Salvini’s delegation to Moscow that July.

The question that Salvini (and Conte for that matter) have yet to answer is whether and what Salvini knew of the meeting at the Metropol hotel on Oct. 18.

The idea that the EU wants to keep Britain in the EU for years and years, which still lingers in parts of the UK press (and is also being pushed by PM Johnson) is inaccurate
A senior European government official told me yesterday that the majority of EU27 leaders would only want to grant another extension for a precise purpose - an election - and it would be as short as possible, until January
Widespread belief in most capitals is that an election would do little, if anything at all, to change the fundamentals: UK has to eventually choose if it leaves with the deal or without one.

EU27 received an update on Brexit today. They were told:

- UK committed to send concrete proposals three weeks ago but hasn't done so. Every week, the UK promises to send proposals the following week, but to date nothing has been received.
- UK press reports re. a change in rhetoric after the G7 summit were noted. EU has informed UK that "nothing has changed" and that the EU has been requesting proposals from the UK for the last two years.
- While UK agrees with principle of avoiding a hard border, UK has no problem with controls within Northern Ireland if these take place away from the physical border. In response, EU noted that these checks would be tantamount to a border, obstructing frictionless trade.

We — @BuzzFeedNews, @Bellingcat and @The_ins_ru — have identified two of the Russian men who met with a longtime Salvini aide in a Moscow hotel last October to hatch a secret plan to fund Salvini's far-right Lega party buzzfeednews.com/article/albert…
@BuzzFeedNews @bellingcat @the_ins_ru The two men have deep longstanding ties with powerful Russian figures, politicians and the state, including to Putin's inner circle and, crucially, to individuals namechecked during the Metropol meeting
@BuzzFeedNews @bellingcat @the_ins_ru Only one man from the Metropol meeting remains yet to be identified: A third Russian man, referred to in the tape as “Yuri.”

Alongside @the_ins_ru and @BuzzFeedNews, we just published a new investigation into the travel of Gianluca Savoini, a close aide to Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini. Savoini made at least 14 visits to Moscow in 2018 alone.
bellingcat.com/news/2019/08/0…
You may remember hearing about Gianluca Savoini from a recent @BuzzFeedNews' report, where Savoini was secretly recorded "negotiating the terms of a deal to covertly channel tens of millions of dollars of Russian oil money to Salvini’s Lega party."
buzzfeednews.com/article/albert…
The recording of this secret meeting was on 18 October 2018 in the Metropol Hotel in Moscow. A fragment of the booking data for Savoini in 2018/9 between Italy and Moscow shows his flights leading up to and after this now-infamous meeting.

Putin has actively sought to destabilize the EU by supporting nationalist, populist parties like the League. In May, the Austrian gov’t fell after a video revealed the leader of Austria’s R wing discussing public contracts in exchange for RU campaign aid. nytimes.com/2019/07/10/wor…
“Funding to an Italian political party by a foreign state is illegal,” said Emanuele Fiano, member of Parliament who called on Mr. Salvini to appear before the Lower House to explain the financial negotiation heard on the tape.

nytimes.com/2019/07/10/wor…
“It’s also dangerous to know that an Italian party has a contract of collaboration with a foreign state,” he added in an interview.

Two former prime ministers from the Democratic Party also called on Wednesday for an official inquiry.
