Lega accounts seizure, Judge Nordio: “Salvini is right, it is a political act"
by

“Salvini is right when he talks about a political act”, Carlo Nordio declared it, in an interview with QN in which he defines the protagonism of those who investigate as "dangerous".. This is how the former deputy prosecutor of Venice commented on the seizure from 49 million euros ordered by the Court of Genoa on the assets of the Northern League after the conviction of Umberto Bossi and the former treasurer Francesco Belsito for electoral reimbursements.
“We need to be careful with measures of this type – he explained – which affect the development of the political dialectic. They should only be adopted if strictly necessary: I don't think they were. Thus there is a risk of altering the democratic game. In this sense, Salvini is right when he talks about a political act". More generally he then stated that "politics must regain confidence in itself if it wants to re-establish primacy over judicial action, otherwise it will remain subordinate to the judiciary, as it happens since 1993, that is, since Mani Pulite broke out”.
Salvini's statements – The seizure of 49 million euros to the League is "madness. Any erroneous use by the treasurer of the old management amounts to just over 300 thousand euros. Jurisprudence in hand, once definitively convicted he had to return those. Da 300mila a 48 million dances a lot...". This is what the secretary of the League had declared earlier that day. “We don't have a penny, We have not received any public funding for two years. If someone made a mistake, go and ask this someone and not us". The League did not become a civil party in the trial of the Court of Genoa against Umberto Bossi and Francesco Belsito which resulted in the seizure of 49 million euros “because we were counting on there being justice in Italy, we considered ourselves the injured party".

Magistrate Carlo Nordio on the investigation against Salvini: “The idea that the Prosecutor's Office can intervene in migratory choices is not only bizarre, but irrational and unmanageable”
Of Claudio Cartaldo
Carlo Nordio he is the magistrate who in the 1980s, just to mention one case, led the investigations into the Venetian Red Brigades and kidnappings.
He knows a lot about robes and politics, given that in the 1990s he also had to be interested in Tangentopoli. Bene. Today Nordio signs an editorial on Messenger which in some way "dismantles" the investigation opened by prosecutor Luigi Patronaggio against Matteo Salvini.
Let's go in order and, as much as possible, let's let the former magistrate himself speak. First of all, Nordio points out that the registration in the register of investigated of the Interior Minister would have arrived after the deposition of the Interior Ministry officials heard in Rome by the Agrigento prosecutor. “The first observation – writes the former magistrate on Messenger – is that these minutes should be secret, how secret the entire investigation should be“. But let's move on. And let's get into the merits of the accusations made against Salvini, investigated for kidnapping, illegal arrest and abuse of office. Read More

Carlo Nordio: "Se il Pm sbaglia, it should be sanctioned like this"
by


Reporting of Nicola Pasqualato
Of Benedetto Lattanzi e Valentino Maimone
Carlo Nordio was one of the most respected and prominent investigating magistrates of the last three decades in Italy. Owner of investigations that are as burning as they are fundamental (from the Red Brigades to kidnappings, from the Venetian Tangentopoli to the Mose), he was deputy prosecutor in Venice. His guaranteeist and counter-current positions on the role of the public prosecutor have often earned him praise. We had the opportunity to interview him during "Innocents in handcuffs", the Day dedicated to the victims of judicial errors organized with the Radical Party. What emerged was a long and interesting overview of some of the most delicate aspects of the role of the magistrate in current justice, including judicial errors. This time we publish the part dedicated to the civil liability of the magistrate. Read More
