ROME, May 29 (RIA Novosti) - A plane carrying Italy's parliamentary speaker was forced to make an emergency landing at Moscow's Vnukovo Airport, Corriere della Serra said on Friday. The Airbus 319, which had taken off from a Moscow airport several minutes earlier, had to land due to a fuel leak.

Renato Schifani was returning to Italy after an official visit to Russia. He is currently waiting for a replacement plane to take him back to Italy.

Airport officials declined to make a comment on the report.
