"There has never been war"
between Justice Minister
Carlo Nordio
and the Milanese robes on the case of Artem Uss, the son of the Russian governor who escaped from house arrest in the Milan area after the go-ahead from the Milan Court of Appeal to his extradition.
The minister himself said so before entering a conference on patents at the
Palace of Justice in Milan
.
With the Milanese robes "there may be differences of opinion, but on some principles I want to be very clear: autonomy and independence of the judiciary are sacrosanct principles".
