Ilaria Salis faces appeal hearing over dismissal of two former aides
Ilaria Salis, an Italian member of the European Parliament, is appealing a ruling over her decision to end the employment of two former aides, Valentina Dadda and François Gelmetti.
The appeal hearing is due to begin in Milan tomorrow.
The former aides sued her and won €300,000 in compensation in the first instance, but that ruling is now suspended.
Salis says the aides used their roles to influence her political choices and push public resources toward their own interests.
She says she ended their employment after attempts to reach an agreement failed.
Salis also says she did not know about the first trial until the ruling was issued because the case documents were wrongly served.
Her former aides’ lawyers declined to comment before the hearing, where Salis says she will present her case and hopes to overturn the ruling.
