Justice
In the fifth commission a chess game that ended without a winner. Everything, therefore, is entrusted to the plenum of the Council
From Laura Distefano | May 22, 2024
A clear draw: 3-3. The circle on the role of head of the Catania Prosecutor’s Office has closed on two names: Francesco Puleio And Francesco Curcio. The V Commission of the Superior Council of the Judiciary – the one responsible for conferring management roles – voted and expressed two nominations to be submitted to the plenum. The independent member Andrea Mirenda, who in recent days has made dramatic interventions on the stall which was created for the choice of who should fill the seat left vacant by the current Attorney General of Catania Carmelo Zuccaro, voted for the Deputy Etna Prosecutor Puleio. And so did Ernesto Carbone, a layman from the Renzian area, and the vice-president of the V Daniela Bianchini, a layman of Fratelli D’Italia. The other three officials of the Commission instead voted unanimously on the Potenza prosecutor: the president Maria Luisa Mazzola (MI), Antonello Cosentino (Area) and Roberto D’Auria (Unicost).
In the third round we at least emerged from the limbo in which the CSM had been stuck, with political interference and a war of vetoes. The team arrived between last night and this morning, with meetings and phone calls. The challenge up to the photo finish also saw the other two additions from Catania, Ignazio Fonzo and Sebastiano Ardita, as protagonists. Yesterday in support of the latter there was a well-attended demonstration organized by associations and trade unions entitled “Politics out of the judiciary”.
The ball passes to the Plenum
A chess game that ended, however, without a clear winner. Everything, therefore, is entrusted to the plenum of the Council. Usually the vote takes place one month after the indications of the V Commission.
At this point only one thing is certain. The new prosecutor of Catania is called Francesco.COPYRIGHT LASICILIA.IT © ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
