He had sent an email to the members of the board of directors quoting verbatim the speech with which Benito Mussolini claimed political responsibility for the Matteotti crime.

It's a storm over Claudio Anastasio , president of the 3-I company, i.e. the public company that manages the software systems of Inail, Inps and Istat. The manager, appointed by the Meloni government, wrote a long explicit quotation of the Duce's words dated 3 January 1925.

«But then, gentlemen, which butterflies are we going to look for under the arch of Titus? – the text, as reported by Repubblica – Well, I declare here, in the presence of you, and in the presence of the whole Italian Government, that I assume (only me!) the responsibility of 3-I (political! moral! historical! ) of everything that happened. If more or less mangled sentences are enough to hang a man, stake out and rope out! If 3-I was my fault, I bear the responsibility for this, because I have fueled this historical, political and moral climate in my role».

« The Government is my Party, it is in full working order. Gentlemen, you are under illusions! You believed that 3-I was over because I compressed it, that the Party was so flawed because I compared it, and then I also had the cruelty to say so. If I put the hundredth part of the energy I put into compressing 3-I into unleashing it, oh, then you'd see… the beauty for Italy. But there will be no need for this, because the Government is strong enough to crush my sedition in full and definitively," the message concludes.

In the end, overwhelmed by the controversy, Anastasio resigned : "I communicate the irrevocable will to resign from my position as member of the board of directors and president of the company 3-I SpA with immediate effect", the note.
