Italian MPs to be offered drugs tests to prove scandal-hit parliament is not an 'opium smoking den'


Drugs tests are to be offered to all Italian MPs and senators from tomorrow in a bid to prove their parliament is not an 'opium smoking den'.

The testing of Italy's serving politicians is not obligatory and has been promoted by Carlo Giovanardi, a senator with Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's People of Freedom Party.
