In the almost six hours of the Council of Ministers, in addition to the 'except' agreement for the Milleproroghe, the ok to the wiretapping decree arrives which in fact 'technically' changes the Orlando law. The main points? The choice of the relevant wiretaps or not will no longer be only of the judicial police, but will fall within the decision-making sphere of the public prosecutor and lawyers will be able to extract a copy of the relevant wiretaps. The journalist who publishes the interception no longer risks being indicted for violation of professional secrecy and basically the rules in force today remain. The measure does not apply to investigations already in progress, but to all the news of crime subsequent to February 29, when the new legislation will come into force. "Now the measure will make its parliamentary process for the conversion - says Bonafede - but there were acts that we could not delay, because all the ongoing investigations were at risk" and adds that it is an "indispensable tool for investigations ", with" greater guarantees to find a balance between the need for investigations, the protection of confidentiality and the right of defense ". Green light from the PD: "It is an important norm of civilization", says Walter Verini, head of justice for the Democrats, but on the issues of justice in the first days of the year, with the blocking of the prescription from 1 January 2020, a new provision is foreseen summit for the reform of the criminal trial and the democratic party announces as of now its bill to return to the old rules in case an agreement was not reached on the certain times of the criminal trials. The approval of the decree law on wiretapping by the CdM opens a new front of confrontation between majority and opposition. For Forza Italia yet another forcing. Their goal is, as always, to skip the parliamentary debate - Maria Stella Gelmini writes in a note - a debate that this ramshackle majority knows they can't handle, with cracks that even the glue of the armchairs cannot even cover.
