Francesco Lollobrigida, Prime Minister Giogia Meloni's brother-in-law and party colleague, is accused of stopping a high-speed train bound for Naples, which was running late due to a track breakdown, to allow it to get off at an 'extraordinary' stop near Rome, in Ciampino, and continue the journey by car. The incident, as recorded by the newspaper "Il Fatto Quotidiano," has sparked outrage. Former Prime Minister Matteo Renzi stated that "we are witnessing an unprecedented abuse of power. Ministers can employ governmental resources, but they cannot halt all people' trains. If the story is true, we will request Lollobrigida's resignation from the Chamber." According to the minister's party, Fratelli d'Italia, Lollobrigida was anticipated at an important meeting with the inhabitants of Naples and that by stepping off the train, which was already running late, he did not cause any trouble to other passengers.
