Di Pietro runs for the CSM and divides Fratelli d'Italia and Forza Italia
Published
Antonio Di Pietro, former public prosecutor of the Mani Pulite investigation, has decided to run in the elections for the Consiglio Superiore della Magistratura (CSM). His candidacy has created tensions between two parties of the centre-right, Fratelli d'Italia and Forza Italia.
According to reports, some members of Fratelli d'Italia believe that the candidacy is not compatible with the role of a CSM member. The Consiglio Superiore della Magistratura is the body that manages the careers of magistrates in Italy, that is, hiring, transfers and promotions.
Di Pietro worked on the Mani Pulite investigations in the 1990s, which brought to light a widespread system of corruption between politics and business. His name is still very well known in Italian public debate, and his choice has reopened the discussion about the relationship between the judiciary and politics.
At the moment, no further details are available on the official position of the two parties or on the outcome of the candidacy. New statements could emerge in the coming days, which will help clarify the situation.
