Big tax dodgers should be jailed,
Deputy Premier Luigi Di Maio said Thursday.
He said this was the "only solution" to major tax evasion.
"There are no other solutions: jail! That is the road to take
and that is the road we will take!, he wrote on Facebook.
"In Italy there is a serious problem that many pretend not to
see: big tax dodgers!
"A government that described itself as a government of change
cannot pretend not to see these things and must intervene to
safeguard honest Italians".
As well as being deputy premier, Di Maio is industry and
labour minister.
He is also head of the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement
(M5S), one of the two government partners alongside the
nationalist League party of Deputy Premier and Interior Minister
Matteo Salvini.
