Magistrates union ANM on Sunday said
it was "stunned" by a new proposed offece of bringing the
category into disrepute announced by Justice Minister Carlo
Nordio and aimed at officials who appear in the media.
The ANM expressed "astonishment and disppointment" over the
hypothesis of disciplinary sanctions for magistrates who have
"behaviors that compromise the personal credibility, prestige
and decorum of the judicial institution" contained in the
response of the Minister of Justice Nordio to a parliamentary
question by Senator Maurizio Gasparri.
Nordio and the ANM are at loggerheads over a proposed
Constitutional reform to stop judges and prosecutors switching
roles.
