The alarm bell rings in Italy and reaches the ears of the whole European Union. The case of the magistrate’s audio Amedeo Franco, judge rapporteur of the working section of the Cassation chaired by Antonio Esposito who on August 1, 2013 sentenced Silvio Berlusconi in the context of Mediaset process for tax fraud – it’s a historic crossroads. In the aftermath of the shock revelations of the magistrate (now disappeared) Antonio Tajani send a clear message to the European Commission, writing directly to the president Ursula Von der Leyen.
The former president of the European Parliament and current number two of Forza Italia also asks for EU help to clarify a murky affair, which seven years ago – with the subsequent entry into force of the Severino Law – dismissed the Knight by Parliament, making it no longer a candidate in Italy.
“‘What is emerging in recent days is worrying not only for Forza Italia, but for every Italian and European citizen”, the warning of Tajani, who in the letter to der Leyen explaining why the blues have vigorously asked for the institution of a parliamentary committee of inquiry: “To protect Italian and European citizens, at national level we have asked for a parliamentary commission of inquiry into the Berlusconi case and the malfunctioning of criminal justice”. So Tajani speaks of political judgment that distorted the democracy in the beautiful country. Here the former number one of the European Parliament asks the EU institutions to “to evaluate whether in Italy the judiciary has fulfilled its task in an absolutely impartial way “.
After the alarming elements that emerged, Tajani closes in the letter informing the German of the intention to keep her updated on the next developments of the thorny affair:, adding in the last sentence: “The Italian newspapers publish sentences of the magistrate rapporteur of the sentence that defines the judging panel ‘a firing squad’ and that sentence ‘already written and ordered from above’. Furthermore, a recent sentence of the Civil Court of Milan overturns what has already been decided and dismantle the old accusation, declaring that there was no tax fraud “.
Yesterday, with a press conference alongside Anna Maria Bernini and Mariastella Gelmini, Silvio Berlusconi’s deputy not only invoked the commission of inquiry in Parliament, but also collected and relaunched the proposal of the blue senator Licia Ronzulli of appoint the Cav senator for life, thus inviting the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella to think seriously: “Berlusconi senator for life would be a just recognition to a man victim of a real judicial coup. It would also be an acknowledgment for the millions of Italians who have voted and continue to vote for him and whose rights have been trampled “.
