It concerns the
precautionary house arrest
in Italy of
Ilaria Salis
, with the possible application of measures such as the electronic bracelet.
The news was reported today by
Corriere della Sera
and
Repubblica
.
Meanwhile, the case reaches the
European Chamber
.
MEPs will debate the case of the Italian citizen detained in Hungary on Monday afternoon in the Chamber.
The Ministry of Justice is working on a report, to be made available to the defense in the next few days, with which Italy would undertake to guarantee 'maximum security' - writes Repubblica - if the woman were granted house arrest in Italy.
'"Electronic bracelet, supervision and commitment to have her participate in all the trial hearings scheduled in Budapest" which, calendar in hand, would not end before 2025.
After three requests rejected by the Hungarian judge on the grounds that the accused was in danger of fleeing - explains Corriere della Sera - the lawyers are waiting for support to attach to a new request for precautionary house arrest;
so as to be able to offer the judiciary, directly from the Italian government, guarantees that overcome the reasons for previous denials.
The offices in via Arenula are working on this.
The story of Ilaria Salis is at the top of the agenda of next week's plenary session of the European Chamber in Strasbourg.
MEPs will debate the case of the Italian citizen detained in Hungary on Monday afternoon in the Chamber. "Without prejudice that as regards criminal law it is the competence of the member states, Hungary has signed up to the European Convention on Human Rights, therefore the conditions of Ilaria Salis are a problem that also concerns the rule of law in Hungary", explained PD MEP
Mercedes Bresso
, during the pre-plenary briefing of Italian MEPs.
For the Green MEP,
Rosa D'Amato
, "opening a debate on the state of prisoners in the EU is in itself a good thing, furthermore it is necessary to defend Ilaria as an Italian citizen regardless of the accusations".
However, Northern League member Paola Ghidoni
spoke out against European interference in the issue
, underlining how "it is not nice to see an Italian citizen in chains, but criminal matters remain the responsibility of the states and there cannot be EU interference".
The M5s MEP,
Mario Furore
, has the opposite opinion , saying he was "disappointed by the response of the spokesperson of the EU Commission on the fact that individual legal cases are not commented on".
Furore then underlined that "Ilaria's is only the tip of the iceberg on violations of the rule of law in Hungary".
