On November 1, Russian pranksters Vovan and Lexus reported that they had talked to Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni about the migration problem and the conflict in Ukraine, posing as a high-ranking African official.
"This morning, my adviser Talo submitted his resignation," Meloni told a press conference, following a meeting of the Council of Ministers.
The situation with the call of the pranksters was not approached properly, the prime minister said.
"There was a superficial approach," Meloni said.
