Justice: Costa, Conte award and escamotage

(ANSA) - ROME, JANUARY 22 - "The Conte award is an attempt simply to try to keep the various souls of the majority together. It is clear that establishing that a person who has been sentenced can never know when he can finish and he will end his trial is unacceptable. We keep in mind that 48% of the appeals sentences reform the rulings of the first instance, which means that the appeal has a function of control, of scrutiny of first instance sentences ". Enrico Costa, Justice Director of Forza Italia, said it to 'RadioAnch'io'.
"Minister Bonafede - he continues - now believes that the appeal is a tinsel. It is clear from his reform, from some formal passages. The fact that it requires that the convicted, appellant must return to the lawyer and give a new special power of attorney to to appeal after the sentence means to try to find mechanisms to make the appeal of sentences more difficult. We believe that the control of the appeal is fundamental ".
