"Sequestro di persona". The desire of the prosecutors to put Salvini on trial
by

The robes like Saviano. The Northern League member: go ahead and do Clash with Fico: «He wants to be the minister?»
Of Patricia Tagliaferri
The Agrigento Prosecutor's Office is evaluating whether to hypothesize the crime of kidnapping against unknown persons for the affair of 177 migrants held hostage by Diciotti in Catania.
But Salvini doesn't retreat an inch. On the contrary, counterattacks: «I'm here, I'm not unknown. My name is Matteo Salvini, I am Minister of the Interior and I am tired of seeing fake refugees in Italy. Landings have reduced by 32 thousand since I have been in the ministry, but it's not enough for me. The NGOs have understood that for sea taxi drivers it is no longer air. I have broad shoulders and I think I have the support of most Italians and legal immigrants. Investigate me, put me on trial".
Salvini speaks with a live Facebook broadcast, authorize i 29 children on board to go ashore, but the others don't, everyone inside, at least until Europe strikes a blow. Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte also aligns himself, calls the EU into question, accusing it of having "abandoned Italy to itself" and asking for a "strong and clear response". There is now an open conflict on the Diciotti case. Not only between Matteo Salvini and Roberto Saviano, who continue to argue heavily via Twitter, but also within the majority itself. Because on the one hand the Minister of the Interior does not show any concession, the President of the Chamber Roberto Fico distances himself. «Migrants must be able to disembark», tweet, effectively marking a fracture with the government ally, who suggests he limit himself to being president of the Chamber: «I am the Minister of the Interior», he replies. But the heaviest attacks on the number one of the Interior Ministry come from the author of Gomorrah, who addresses him as "Minister of Mala Vita". «He swore an oath on the Constitution – writes Saviano – and if he violates it in a blatant way as he is doing with the Diciotti ship it is no longer politics but subversion".

Prosecutor Gratteri in Paola: "Fare pulizia tra i magistrati. And also among journalists"
by

Gratteri discusses justice and information in Paola starting from the memory of Enzo Lo Giudice, Craxi's lawyer in “Clean Hands”. «I am Minister of Justice? Those who love me say that I was saved". Belpietro: «Magistrates who make mistakes should be suspended.
PAOLA «Among some lawyers and some clients the width of the desk has reduced. Allow this, especially in the criminal field, it is very dangerous. But it is dangerous not so much for the relationships created with clients but with fellow lawyers. Frankly, there are too many of them, and there are also too many cases that should not be in court". Nicola Gratteri in the cloister of Sant'Agostino, to Paola, thus answers journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi's first question. The lawyers Marcello Manna and Francesco Scrivano nod. The humidity of a strong summer storm mixes with the human warmth of an audience that sits down to commemorate one of the greatest lawyers in republican history: Enzo Lo Giudice. «I always say this to young people – continues the magistrate – don't look for shortcuts, they are not needed, make sure that the desk has a wide margin with your clients". And the desk of Enzo Lo Giudice it was wide. Craxi's lawyer in the “Mani Pulite” trial, communist formation, but above all a pure guaranteeist as his first practitioner recalls, now a lawyer, Francesco Scrivano. Defending the socialist leader in the judicial tornado set up by the "Clean Hands" pool of the three magistrates Davigo-Di Pietro-Colombo, for Lo Giudice it also meant dealing with the first real episode in Italy of what is today defined “media trial”. Since then everything changed. Even a notice of guarantee turned into a hearing in the newspaper columns. «The directors of the most important Italian newspapers – says Scrivano – called each other to agree on the title to be given the following day».

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
