Prosecutors investigating allegations
Senate Speaker Ignazio La Russa's son raped a young woman after
a night at a Milan night club in May are evaluating making a
request to the Upper House to seize his telephone, sources said
on Friday.
The investigators would need parliament's permission to seize
Leonardo Apache La Russa's phone as its SIM card is registered
in the name of his father, the sources said.
Before making a request to the Senate, the prosecutors want to
give the young man the chance to hand the phone over of his own
free will, the sources added.
On Friday La Russa senior's office expressed faith in the work
being done by Milan prosecutors, while saying media coverage of
the case had gone too far.
Among other things, a statement said photos of another of his
son's had been published by newspapers and on social media under
the name of Leonardo.
