Prosecutor General of Perugia challenges Fuzio's acquittal

 The Public Prosecutor's Office of Perugia challenged the acquittal of the former Pg of the Cassation Riccardo Fuzio acquitted on 23 July, with an abbreviated procedure, of the accusations of revelation of professional secrecy in favor of the former councilor of the CSM Luca Palamara. It was learned from the same Judicial Office of the Umbrian capital.

    According to the sentence of the gup of Perugia, the revelation of the news learned by Fuzio on April 3, 2019 as a member of the Presidential Committee of the CSM were not covered by official secrecy, as they are not yet secreted by the self-governing body of the judiciary for which it was considered that the fact does not exist, it is reconstructed in a note from the Perugian Attorney General Sergio Sottani with which he announces the appeal of the sentence before the Court of Appeal.

    As for the other news, which would have been revealed in an evening meeting between the two magistrates on 9 May 2019, the fact had to be considered of particular tenuousness, as Fuzio had been approached by Palamara with a stratagem and that in any case the facts revealed by Fuzio did not assume a particular importance, as they were largely already known, by other means, by Palamara.

    However, the Public Prosecutor of Perugia now challenges both assumptions and has therefore challenged the acquittal.

    On the one hand, with reference to the acts known by the then Attorney General of the Cassation Dr.

Fuzio, as a member by right of the CSM Presidential Committee, having communicated the news to Palamara by telephone, around 10.30 am on the morning of April 3, 2019, constituted a violation of the secrecy to which the magistrate was in any case bound, also considered the subsequent secrecy of those acts.
