“Documents about Cospito were not declassified. No wiretaps were disclosed.” This was expressed in the report presented to the Chamber today by Minister of Justice Carlo Nordio on the Donzelli-Delmastro case. “Limited disclosure represents a statement that goes beyond the subject of state secrets and privacy classifications and is inappropriate to call the transmitted document a confidential document,” the Minister of Seals added. An appointment in Parliament today was an opportunity for the minister to consider the story of anarchist Alfredo Cospito, who has been on a hunger strike for more than three months against the 41 bis regime that the minister did not want to abolish them. .
Two cases are pending against Cospito: one with jurisdiction in the Supreme Court, and the other with the authority of the ministry after 41 repeated requests for annulment. “On February 9, after receiving all the necessary comments, I rejected the request for the annulment of 41bis,” Nordio said. The dangerousness of Alfredo Cospito was “confirmed by the proliferation of acts of intimidation by anarcho-rebel groups. His ability to lead the fighting initiatives of the anarchist rebel galaxy continues,” the minister said in his report to the Assembly. He argued that “the new elements put forward by the defense do not have the necessary devastating effect on the conditions necessary for the maintenance of this regime”. This assessment is confirmed by the opinion of the national anti-mafia and anti-terrorism prosecutor. Reasons for unfounded legal documents brought by Cospito’s defender”.
How is Cospito today?
Regarding the health status of the anarchist working in the penal institution of the San Paolo hospital, Cospito, who started taking supplements yesterday, ate yesterday in addition to eating yogurt. It is a hope-born choice filed with the request of the Chief Prosecutor of the Court of Cassation regarding the hearing on February 24, requesting the postponement and annulment of the verdict that the Rome probation court upheld 41 bis for him. From the rumors circulating in the judicial circles, the hypothesis is forming that he can be discharged from the hospital and returned to the clinical center of the Opera prison.
“Unless on February 24 the Supreme Court reverses the probation court’s decision by ordering the annulment of 41 bis for Cospito, any subsequent judgment in favor of Alfredo will have to be reported to him at the cemetery,” attorney Flavio Albertini Rossi wrote in a note. “The prisoner’s health conditions are actually about to fail – adds the lawyer who visited him in San Paolo today. Alfredo walks with difficulty, is constantly monitored by a portable medical device to check his heartbeat, can’t wait to delay health any longer”.
Minister Nordio said, “Continuous daily monitoring of Alfredo Cospito, whose health status is monitored in real time, is provided. Since February 13, Cospito has resumed potassium supplements, returned to normal values. His values resumed and his clinical picture improved, but this remains serious. No cognitive impairment emerges, the only data that can be evaluated for the incidence of social hazard”.
The Donzelli-Delmastro case
Today’s news was about the story involving Under-Secretary of Justice Andrea Delmastro and Copasir Vice-President Giovanni Donzelli, which caused the opposition to ask for their resignations and the Rome prosecutor’s office launched an investigation on suspicion of crime. disclosure and use of official secrets. The information reported by Delmastro and reported in a report by Dap (prison administration department) concerned the Chamber intervention of January 31, in which Donzelli spoke about the content of conversations between Cospito and some organized crime bosses in prison. in charge of prisons and his roommate in Rome: bosses encouraged the anarchist to advance in the war against 41bis, and Donzelli had taken the cue to attack the Democratic Party because at the time a delegation of MPs had made a payment. He visited Cospito in prison, essentially accusing him of conniving the crime.
The honor panel will also have to testify about the case, as requested by the Democratic Party. In the meantime, however, Nordio did internal checks on the document that was at the center of the discussion, and has published its conclusions in a memo over the past few weeks. Repeated conclusions to MPs today: Donzelli’s words were reported in a summary file of the central investigative unit of the prison police “without official secrecy or further classification”. And the conversations between Cospito and the bosses were not heard, they were “merely the result of administrative oversight activities”, meaning they were overheard by the men of the prison police during the detainee’s socializing hours. As for the phrase “limited disclosure” in the ballot delivery note, it “has nothing to do with state secrets”.
Just today, Undersecretary of Justice Delmastro was at Palazzo Chigi in the afternoon to meet with the undersecretary of Prime Minister Alfredo Mantovano. “Just a greeting with him and some thoughts on the ministry and Dap’s work,” the Undersecretary told Adnkronos.
During the Minister of Justice’s discussion about disclosure, a brawl broke out in the Chamber. At the end of Luana Zanella’s speech (Alleanza Verdi-Left), the tensions rose when Brothers of Italy group leader Tommaso Foti was summoned by Parliament Speaker Lorenzo Fontana and interrupted the session for a few minutes. When calmness returned, work resumed with the intervention of Pino Bicchielli (Noi Moderati).
