Former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi said on Monday his parents had been placed under house arrest following an investigation into alleged corruption.
In a statement posted on Facebook, the center-left leader said his parents Tiziano Renzi and Laura Bovoli were being victimized because of his own political activities.
“People who have read the (investigative) papers assure me they have never seen such an absurd or disproportionate measure,” Renzi wrote, referring to the house arrest.
