The Carroccio has announced that it is considering the jeweller’s candidacy “provided the legal requirements are met”. But the requirements are not met, because a conviction for multiple murders results in the forfeiture of political rights. The general is aware of this and says: “We will support him in every way possible, but I do not believe that standing as a candidate for the Fn is one of them”. Meanwhile, the jeweller says: “If Mattarella pardons Minetti, I will too.”
