"The investigation that led to intercepting journalists and lawyers, carried out by the prosecutor of Trapani started in 2017, under pressure from the" Central Operative Service ", under the Ministry of the Interior. At that time, Marco's Pd was at the Viminale Minniti and not Salvini. A minister who screamed at the "risk to democracy" caused by asylum seekers, who signed agreements with the Libyan government to finance the camps for migrants, who fought the work of NGOs by any means necessary. "
This was declared by Maurizio Acerbo, national secretary of the Communist Refoundation and Stefano Galieni, immigration manager Prc-SE.
"The investigation made it possible to intercept journalists who, without the hypothesis of a crime against them, had their interceptions deposited, (30 thousand pages), which put their sources at risk, proving the crimes committed by the militias. put a brake not only on the right to inform but also on the confidentiality ties that bind lawyers and clients, whose conversations, not related to any investigation, are now on record. As Rifondazione Comunista, we reiterate it: if you are anti-racist and if not we want to be accomplices in the massacres at sea, we cannot have anything to do with such a former minister and with the party that claims his role. All our solidarity and support to those who, despite the complicit silence of the center-right and self-styled center left, continues to be on the side of the last ", they conclude.
In recent days, the National Order of Journalists has expressed itself on the story of the interceptions of reporters committed to documenting immigration between Italy and Libya.
"We are faced with the disfigurement of professional secrecy - affirms the national president Carlo Verna - the story relating to the investigation of the Prosecutor of Trapani on NGOs, reading the news appears to be extremely serious and deserves a mobilization not only of the category that the Order of journalists will promote. Emblematic is the interception of a journalist talking to a lawyer. Where will this country go, to the bugs in the confessionals? It is a fact that concerns the quality of democracy. We will appeal to the President of the Republic, who in addition to being the supreme guarantor of the Constitution is also the number one of the CSM, and to the Minister of Justice. Fortunately for us and the institutions they are called Sergio Mattarella and Marta Cartabia ".
"Andrea Palladino, a chronicler of certain reliability and professionalism, in the pages of the newspaper 'Domani' revealed how, in the context of an investigation into the NGOs conducted by the Trapani investigators, the conversations of various journalists would have been intercepted. Who and why he ordered Did you want to find out the sources, violating professional secrecy? What was the title of the interceptions relating to the talks between the reporter Nancy Porsia and her lawyer Alessandra Ballerini? Because, an even more disturbing detail, passages relating to the investigations on Giulio Regeni? ".
The National Federation of the Press asks this in a note.
"It is not up to us to issue sentences - continues the journalists' union - but we deem it appropriate that the guarantee authorities ask for clarification and make them public. The National Federation of the Italian press will provide colleagues and colleagues with every support - concludes the note - and will support all the initiatives they intend to promote ".
