“There are times defined for the reform of justice, in the sense that by the end of the year it is necessary to be approved in double reading and this will happen. Then there will be the referendum, I assume at the beginning of next year or maximum in the spring, because this wants the Constitution “. The Minister of Justice Carlo Nordio said this during a Taobuk 2025 meeting in Taormina. «As you know – he added – a great constitutional reform is underway on the separation of careers. Once again, I repeat, it is absolutely not punitive towards the judiciary. Instead, the principles of the accusatory code of the eighties tends to implement. We have already reduced the backlog according to the plans prepared for the PNRR. This is thanks to the work of the judiciary who worked well to reduce these slopes. As for the digitization and computerization of the process we are at a good point. The border that we want to make homogeneous is that between the constitution and the code of criminal procedure ».

As for foreigners detained, we are studying a system to make their punishment expand in their places of origin “ The Minister of Justice continued. “It would be an element of deflation – he added -. If we manage to send a quarter-third third, it would be 3-4 thousand people ». Speaking of the problem of overcrowding in prison, the Guardasigilli also explained that the government is working on a reform of preventive prison and the detention of drug addicts. On the first theme he said that “we must prevent a person from going to atone for a penalty, which often does not deserve, for which there is no compensation”. While, with regard to drug addicts, Nordio concluded, “we are thinking of forms of attenuated detention at community structures, without however granting freedom”.

«I have the estimate of colleague Schlein, but I regret that I have not read my books. I have been writing these things since 1997 and I wrote four books on this. These are things that I say and I have always repeated. It will mean that I will send my books with the dedication to Schlein. ” Nordio then responded to the attack of the secretary of the Democratic Party, Elly Schlein, on the reform of justice.
