The report, explains the ministry, “is made pursuant to the special control regime introduced by the decree-law approved in March by the Council of Ministers.” The results of the Financial Police investigations, accompanied by an analysis report, will be sent by the Authority to the judicial authority.

The cut, decided by the Government two days ago, amounts to 17.08 cents per liter: 14 cents of excise plus 22% VAT. Today a liter of diesel costs on average 2.074 euros, eleven cents less than the 2.185 euros on Monday morning. On the highway, the price remains higher, at 2.169 euros per liter.
