He says it in Latin and also in English, for those who do not trust Italian. No resignation for the Almasri case. Whoever asks her is “Nuts”, crazy. Those releases in the newspapers are “inventions”, “legends”, because “the acts we have radically denied what has been reported”. The Minister of Justice Carlo Nordio, who ended up again in the sights for the story of the Libyan commander Osama Njeem Almasri not delivered to the international criminal court, strongly rejects the attacks of the oppositions, which however continue. While the decision of the Court of Ministers who investigated the Guardasigilli, together with his colleague Matteo planted, to the Undersecretary Alfredo Mantovano and the Premier Giorgia Meloni: archiving or request for authorization to proceed.
«Everything that has been written and that I have read these days – says Nordio – is a little like legends: some truths accompanied by many inventions. I cannot enter the details because there is the famous investigative secret, but the part, let’s call it that, more succulent that has raised many controversies does not correspond to truth ». The “most succulent” part is the email that the capable of cabinet in via Arenula, Giusi Bartolozzi, sent to the former head of the Affamenti Department of Justice, Luigi Birritteri, on January 19 – day of Almasri’s arrest – to ask him to treat the case with caution and to communicate on Signal for confidentiality. While the Guardasigilli, in the information of the Chamber of February 5, had reported that only on January 20 to the Ministry had received the “correspondence complex” on the story from the Hague.
The minister does not get upset. «We will report to Parliament when the time is. As a former magistrate – he pressed – it would be improper if I entered the details of an investigation that is still in progress “and” when the acts will be exhibited, you can see who was right and who was wrong. But I say clearly – he underlines – that what I read does not correspond to truth; to Parliament I have always told the truth “. And to the dem filippo senses, that the question time in the Senate says to consider it” Let us have a desire for resigning because this is your desire, but it is a Wishful Thinking. Hic Manebimus Optime». Rather, observing, there have been “violations of reserved acts of which it is not clear how someone has come into possession. This will also be the subject of clarification by the judicial authority”. The lawyer Giulia Bongiorno is in fact evaluating a complaint for dissemination of acts covered by secret for the documents of the investigation finished in the newspapers.
Meanwhile, the criticisms of the opposition do not stop. For Chiara Appendino (M5S) “Giorgia Meloni has orchestrated a shameful page of the history of Italy and owes the Italians to the Italians, because we are faced with a serious state sidetrack”. On the Almasri case, says Raffaella Paita (IV), “Minister Nordio lied to Parliament and must therefore come to the courtroom to answer questions, cannot escape. He must say something clear, explain what happened, and apologize for having lied to the Italian people ». According to Nicola Fratoianni (AVS), “before the Court of Ministers serves the Court of Truth and decency. We are faced with a gigantic scandal in this country ».
Of the 4 suspects, the most delicate position appears precisely that of Nordio, which must also respond – unlike the other three – of omission of office deeds. In any case, it is foreseeable that a possible request for authorization to proceed against members of the government will be rejected by Parliament, for the majority numbers. The Court will deposit the deeds to the ordinary prosecutor, who can then move – if he considers him – to evaluate other positions, such as that of Giusi Bartolozzi, felt as an informed person of the facts.
