"Me take a step back? I don't understand why."

Thus the Minister of Tourism Daniela Santanchè responds on the stage of the annual Confagricoltura assembly on the allegations that emerged from the Report investigations for her business with the former Visibilia company .

Under investigation for bankruptcy and false accounting concerning the publishing group which is now in bankruptcy and which she had founded, remaining at its helm until last year, Santanchè however insists: «Today, at this moment in which I am speaking, I have not yet received any guarantee notice - explains -. Some newspapers write big lies and for this reason we will file our lawsuit and ask for our compensation for damages . I am absolutely calm. My grandfather taught me not to be afraid if you do nothing wrong. No one has ever accused me in my duties as minister."

“Then I am a citizen, I do not participate in media trials, I defend myself in the courts – he continues -. And moreover, as even those writing these days know very well, I'm doing very well in the courts. I have already brought home two withdrawals ».

From testimonies and documents collected by Rai3 journalists it would also emerge that the Tourism manager allegedly lied while defending herself at Palazzo Madama , in last week's report.

«I say to the newspapers: freedom of the press is good, write what you want – he concludes -. Then there too there will be someone who will say if things were true or if they were false. I hope in a few years to have a nice nest egg of my compensation for damages. Maybe I can help someone who needs me more."
