Italy's interior minister faces political storm over Kazakh expulsion

ROME (Reuters) - Italy's main opposition parties called on Monday for the resignation of the deputy head of Italy's fragile ruling coalition over the expulsion of the wife and daughter of dissident Kazakh oligarch Mukhtar Ablyazov.

Both the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement and the smaller Left Ecology Freedom party filed a motion of no confidence in Interior Minister Angelino Alfano, who also serves as deputy premier, rejecting the government's claim that the deportation took place without the knowledge of ministers.
