Earlier this month, Boccia had claimed on social media that her intention was to provide a guided tour for her followers, asserting that she had done “nothing illegal” with the glasses.
However, the lower house of parliament disciplined her for violating rules prohibiting unauthorized recording within the building.
Sangiuliano resigned from his post on Friday after admitting to an affair with Boccia and attempting to hire her as a ministry consultant. Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni initially rejected his resignation.
Boccia announced on Instagram she had the new role as an adviser for major events to the culture ministry — a claim the ministry itself denied. She also published pictures of herself on business trips with Sangiuliano, who is married.
Sangiuliano has denied giving Boccia access to confidential documents or public funds. However, Italian prosecutors on Tuesday opened an investigation into his possible misuse of public funds and the disclosure of sensitive information.
