Italian police have raided the home of an influencer whose affair with the country’s tourism minister brought about his political downfall, with officers seizing a pair of “spy glasses” which she used to film inside parliament.
Maria Rosaria Boccia is under investigation for allegedly making threats to Gennaro Sangiuliano, who was forced to resign over their affair earlier this month.
The exact nature of the alleged threats has not been made public by prosecutors, but under Italian law it is an offence to make threats to a public official or politician.
