Justice Minister Caro Nordio, Premier
Giorgia Meloni and other justice officials on Friday mooted the
possibility of setting up a 'High Court' to judge Italy's
judges.
The new suggested body that will judge both judging and
prosecuting magistrates was one of the hypotheses, with regard
to the reform of Justice, that reportedly emerged during the
meeting held at Palazzo Chigi, in the presence of Meloni, which
was attended by Undersecretary Alfredo Mantovano, Minister
Nordio, Deputy Justice Minister Francesco Paolo Sisto,
Undersecretaries Ostellari and Delmastro, the chairmen of the
Justice Commissions of the Chamber and Senate Ciro Maschio and
Giulia Bongiorno, and the Justice leaders of the centre-right
parties.
There was also agreement on possibly splitting up the Supreme
Council of Magistrates (CSM), the judiciary's self-governing
body, into two and forging ahead with separate career paths for
judges and prosecutors, a keystone of Nordio's proposed reforms.
