Third Pole opens up on interceptions, 'ready to support'

"Shareable, we hope it leads to concrete facts" and in the case also "we will support it with conviction from the opposition".

The Third Pole breaks the delay and through the mouth of the president of Italia Viva, Ettore Rosato, says he is ready to support the justice reform illustrated in recent days by Minister Nordio and in particular the segment concerning wiretapping.

    Rosato's words come after those of the IV leader, Matteo Renzi, who, commenting on the programmatic lines of the number one in via Arenula, had hoped that "from words" the Government would pass "to deeds".

Rosato's statements therefore seem to draw the line: a piece of the opposition is ready to support the reform system outlined by the Executive on the subject of justice.

Among the ranks of the opposition, with distinctions and stakes, others also place themselves in a position of not total closure.

"I find myself in Nordio's words on interceptions, separation of careers and the role of prosecutors - says the secretary of +Europe, Benedetto Della Vedova - because as guarantor I find a perspective of liberal justice reform" adding that if "

the form and also the substance were guaranteed I would vote for it.

But there is one fact that alarms me: Nordio's signing of a criminal, security, wrong and ideological law which is the anti-rave law".

    The M5s remain clearly opposed: Federico Cafiero De Raho, a pentastellato deputy and former national Anti-Mafia prosecutor, goes on the attack stating that "interceptions are a fundamental tool for investigating the mafia, Camorra, 'Ndrangheta. There is no complex investigation into organized crime or on corruption that has not used them".

The Libera association follows the same line according to which judicial experience "teaches the importance and effectiveness of wiretapping in the fight against organized crime. Reducing or limiting the use of these tools - according to the association - risks preventing know where criminal lawlessness in all its forms originates and lurks".

    Meanwhile, the Area councilors have presented a request to ask the CSM to convene a plenum with the minister for an "institutional discussion" on the repercussions of the proposed reforms which, according to them, "would have a significant impact on the functioning of the judicial system, and in particular on the independence of the magistrates of the public prosecutor and on the effectiveness of the investigative activities".

    For the Deputy Minister of Justice, Francesco Paolo Sisto, Nordio's words "touched a raw nerve: the minister had the courage to say what is written in the Constitution. No one questions the usefulness of this tool in the cases envisaged by the law: what is not acceptable is the abuse, i.e. the habit of doing something with it that goes beyond the procedural function attributed to it by the code".

The latter position is also shared by criminal lawyers for whom the interception system is "collapsing".

    "We witness an excess in the use of this investigative tool every day - says the president of the Criminal Chamber of Rome, Gaetano Scalise - and at the same time we verify in the procedural documents that in the face of countless useless and intrusive interceptions there are only a few of procedural interest The current system is now collapsing and more and more we see the intrusion also in the client/lawyer relationship, which instead is prohibited by law".
