Rome is "in constant contact" with Washington over US intelligence claims this week that Russia has paid 300 million euros to foreign parties, politicians and officials in over 20 countries since 2014, foreign minister Luigi Di Maio said on Thursday.
"We are and will remain in constant contact with the Americans for all the latest developments...we'll keep exchanging information," he told RaiNews24.
"The 300 million euros that Russia paid to political parties raises serious questions," Di Maio added.
