From politics to sports: the day's main news in Italy
A major surprise in the world of international tennis. At the Roland Garros tournament, Italian tennis player Flavio Cobolli reached the final without having to play the semifinal. His opponent and compatriot, Matteo Arnaldi, was forced to withdraw at the last moment due to an intestinal virus. Cobolli will now face German Alexander Zverev for the title in Paris. This is a historic event for Italian sport, despite the disappointment over the missed match between the two Italians.
Moving to crime news, a dramatic story comes from the world of drug trafficking. A 30-year-old woman was kidnapped and repeatedly beaten because she could not pay her drug debts. The kidnappers threatened her with a gun and forced her to deal drugs to pay off the accumulated debt. Fortunately, the intervention of the Carabinieri allowed the violence to be uncovered and the young woman to be freed.
On the judicial and political front, the former mayor of Venice, Luigi Brugnaro, has been indicted. The trial will begin in September and concerns alleged irregularities in election spending, with a budget overrun of approximately 300,000 euros.

Another important investigation concerns the links between the Italian Red Cross and the Lazio Region. The inquiry analyzes the so-called "revolving doors" system and the dual roles between these two institutions during the management of Francesco Rocca. The investigation highlights the names and political connections that influence appointments and local power, raising doubts about the transparency of certain public positions.

The teacher had been excluded from a year-long substitute position despite having a higher score than other colleagues.
