Three members of the Five Star Movement have called for Giovanni Malagò to step aside from his roles as Italian National Olympic Committee (CONI) and Milan-Cortina 2026 President, despite the country avoiding a ban from the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
The Italian Government last week approved a decree to guarantee the autonomy of the CONI.
The move saw CONI avoid sanctions from the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
It was feared that Italy would face a flag and national anthem ban for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics due to a controversial sports law, which was considered to have threatened the autonomy of CONI.
