Justice Minister Carlo Nordio said
Thursday he was disoriented and saddened by Justice
Undersecretary Andrea Delmastro's conviction for leaking
classified information in a case in which a party colleague
tried to embarrass opposition politicians over visiting jailed
anarchist Alfredo Cospito.
"I am disoriented and saddened by a conviction that affects one
of my dearest and most capable collaborators. I trust in a
radical reform of the case during the appeal and I renew my
total and unconditional trust in my friend Andrea Delmastro,"
said Nordio, who is in the same party, Premier Giorgia Meloni's
right-wing Brothers of Italy (FdI).
We will continue to work together for the indispensable and
urgent justice reforms", said Nordio, referring to his plans to
separate the career paths of judges and prosecutors so they can
no longer switch between the two.
Delmastro got a suspended eight-month sentence.
