Everyone in his private life does what he wants but to have seen a judge being in the square among people who gave murderers and animals to the policemen does not leave me calm. I am not interested in who shot the video, I am amazed that this judge continues to do his work on the same dossier by freeing immigrants whom the Quaestors want to detain. God forbid that one of these illegal immigrants commits an act of violence." So the Minister of Infrastructure Matteo Salvini, in Palermo on the video on judge Iolanda Apostolico.
