The blog of 5-Star Movement (M5S) leader Beppe Grillo accused the media of „killer journalism“ on Tuesday over reports of messages sent by Deputy Lower House Speaker Luigi Di Maio to Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi over former personnel chief Raffaele Marra‘s role in city hall. „Today four different journalists on three newspapers report the same fake news about Luigi Di Maio,“ the post read. „The case is of unheard-of gravity because what they wrote is false, misleading and not verified“. It said Di Maio was preparing legal action to sue for damages of hundreds of thousands of euros.
