At least 18 Italian citizens have committed suicide due to economic hardships and high unemployment rate so far this year.

On Friday, a group representing Italian taxpayers’ rights (Federcontribuenti) requested an investigation into the financially motivated suicides that has happened since the beginning of the year to “find out if those who are supposed to be stopping this social slaughter aren’t doing their jobs,” ANSA reported.

The organization also suggested that the number of suicides much be even higher as some cases are not reported.

Most of the victims are reportedly from the northern parts of the country, regions where small and medium-sized businesses are dominant.

Figures from the north-western port city of Genoa for example show a five percent increase in the number of suicides committed during the first quarter of the year 2012 when compared with the same period in 2011.

Italy has been grappling with harsh economic crisis for years and has tried to tackle its financial problems by taking some measures such as tax hike and tough austerity measures, which have led to widespread anger across the country.
