Lawyers and judges are divided in the evaluations on the prescription and on the reform of the criminal process that was approved yesterday by the Council of ministers of Italy Living absent from the meeting. The first attack of the innovations contained in the reform: “Is cynical and dangerous,” he tells Radio anch’io Gian Domenico Caiazza, president of the Union of Chambers penalties, and “we were right in saying that the end result is that it is operating a reform that introduces the figure of the accused to life. We bet, such as on a table of black jack, the sudden palingenesi of the criminal process becomes, suddenly, is short and ends in four years.”
For the national association of magistrates, the secretary Giuliano Caputo in the same transmission of Rai Radio 1 welcomes the effort of the government, “drafts, informal seems to be that actually an effort of reform of the criminal process has been done. And this can help to speed up the process along with the resources.” And on the intervention on the prescription after the first degree, “the principle is right,” there will be no “imputed life”. And again: “The statute of limitations as a institute of substantial continues to be operating. Who commits the theft of a bicycle may not be prosecuted after twenty years, as I’ve heard these days, because if the crime is not discovered within a certain period of time, the prescription continues to run”.
Caputo is back on the hypothesis of sanctions for the robes of the lens: “is a principle that Is wrong and unfair to The Italian judges sanctions the disciplinary board. Yesterday, however, the minister Bonafede in the press conference did not refer to an hypothesis of this kind. We hope that we have heard.”
