Her experience in the Chamber of Deputies as a Member of Parliament from two thousand eight to two thousand fourteen further solidified her influence in Italian and European politics.

However, her career faced a significant challenge in December two thousand twenty-five when she resigned from this position following her arrest and subsequent release by the European Public Prosecutor's Office.
