The Lega party has filled two of the country's most sensitive regulatory vacancies with its own. Altieri will lead the National Anti-Corruption Authority, while Giulio Centemero, a sitting MP who recently saw a separate case against him settled via the statute of limitations, joins the market regulator. The opposition called the moves an attack on institutional autonomy.
National authorities are questioning whether pro-Russian hackers actually managed to target supermarket refrigerators after finding inconsistencies in the group's claims. Elsewhere, the government is preparing to challenge an assisted suicide law in Veneto—the only such legislation passed in a centre-right region—while Aurelio Marguerettaz has been elected president of Valle d'Aosta.
In Milan, the number of 'working poor' is rising as full-time wages fail to cover the city's basic costs. The week's smaller domestic dramas included a security scare at Malpensa airport where a flight was escorted by military personnel, and the seizure of €700,000 in hidden assets from a sect leader in Almese.
