She ended up in the crosshairs of one of her suspects. That via email he wrote insults, warnings and veiled threats to her. The recipient is a magistrate, public prosecutor of the Brescia Prosecutor’s Office who mainly deals with financial crimes and who, understandably alarmed, could not help but report what had happened to her direct superiors.
The insults – written as if the person was following the magistrate at that precise moment – arrived on the institutional email address of the Brescia prosecutor for whom now a personal protection measure may be triggered. Not the escort, but a form of check by the police which could last a period of six months. “We are keeping the situation monitored,” chief prosecutor Francesco Prete simply says. No alarm, but the case is certainly not underestimated.
The matter ended up on the table of the General Prosecutor’s Office which deals with the safety of the district magistrates and in the last few hours the General Prosecutor Guido Rispoli sent a letter to the Prefect of Brescia Maria Rosaria Laganà. The decision on the protection of the deputy prosecutor will in fact eventually have to be taken during the next order and safety committee in which the top brass of the police force will participate.
Then the Venice Public Prosecutor’s Office, which deals with matters concerning the magistrates of the Brescia district, will also be informed about the case, whether they are victims or perpetrators of crime.
