Briefly explain the following article
Piercamillo Davigo (in the photo) has “brought to the attention of a selected audience news covered by investigative secrecy through a series of informal meetings, well aware of casting a sinister light on the work of the Milan Public Prosecutor’s Office” and on the two colleagues of the CSM, doctors Mancinetti and Ardita. The Court of Appeal of Brescia writes in the recently deposited motivations of the sentence which, on March 7th, confirmed the former magistrate of Mani Pulite and former CSM councilor’s conviction to one year and 3 months, with suspended penalty, for the issue of lawyer Augusta Piero Amara’s minutes on a non-existent Lodge Hungary. Conviction for disclosure of official secrets for circulating those “incendiary” documents or their contents among the members of the Palazzo dei Marescialli and also to the detriment of his former colleague Sebastiano Ardita, also Sicilian, from Catania, a civil party in the trial, represented by lawyer Fabio Repici.
The judges of the second degree in the 115 pages of motivations explain that Davigo – who has always claimed to have acted “in good faith” and to “restore legality” – has implemented “a series of irregular and illegal confidences, which have had that final effect of an unprecedented leak of information, already criticized by the Umbrian judicial authority.”
At the center of the issue were the minutes on a non-existent lodge made by Amara between December 2019 and January 2020 in the context of the Milan investigation on the so-called Eni fake conspiracy. Minutes handed to Davigo in the following April by Milan’s Public Prosecutor Paolo Storari (finally acquitted) to self-defend, according to him, against an alleged inaction of the leadership of his office.
The appellate judges explain that “it is not the task of this Court to understand the reason” why Davigo acted in that way, also because the motive for the disclosure offense is “irrelevant.”
Davigo, with lawyer Davide Steccanella, will appeal to the Court of Cassation against the conviction. “A lawyer – comments Steccanella – does not comment on judgments, if he does not agree with them he appeals. At this point, the final word will be up to the Court of Cassation.”
