Delmastro, no from the Council to the prosecutor’s request to acquire the chats. M5s protest

The Committee for authorizations to proceed said no to the request of the magistrates of the Rome Prosecutor’s Office to acquire the chat between Andrea Delmastro and the restaurateur Mauro Caroccia, detained on mafia charges. The center-right voted in favor of the proposal of the speaker of the text, the Italian Pietro Pittalis, denying authorization to seize the correspondence. The center-left voted against. “The report highlighted the critical issues of the request from the Rome prosecutor’s office relating to the generic nature of the object, the absence of temporal delimitation and the failure to demonstrate the impracticability of less invasive means”, Pittalis tells AGI.

After the Council’s no for authorization to proceed, the dossier will arrive in the Chamber on Thursday 30 July. This is what was decided at today’s group leaders’ meeting in Montecitorio.

The protests of the 5 Star Movement

“It’s incredible. They put up the shield. The shield to protect citizens against the collapse of salaries, against the high cost of living, against skyrocketing fuel. But go figure. A little while ago the Parliament in the council for the authorizations to proceed shielded Delmastro of Fratelli d’Italia. Do you remember Delmastro? He’s the one from the Steak House”. The president of the M5s, Giuseppe Conte, says this in a video on social media.
Delmastro, continues “the one who had set up a company to do business with the family members of the figurehead of the Senese clan. In order to continue the investigation, the Rome Prosecutor’s Office wanted to acquire the chats of Delmastro and the figurehead of the Senese clan. Yet Meloni’s centre-right said ‘no’. And they babble about legality and transparency. What do they have to hide? Is it possible that they will go so far as to hinder the Prosecutor’s investigations when a mafia clan is involved? at least a courtesy, stop talking about legality, about transparency, stop saying that their political action is inspired by the ideas and thoughts of Borsellino. After the rescue of Santanchè, you have lost face once again. We will wait for you in the Chamber on this shameful decision. We will fight you
