With the ruling on the Ferri case, the Constitutional Court placed Parliament in the hands of the prosecutors

The Consulta canceled the resolution with which, on 12 January 2022, the Chamber denied the disciplinary section of the CSM the authorization to use the wiretaps concerning Ferri. The implications concern the same balance between political power and judicial power

A Parliament in check by prosecutors. These are the implications, somewhat ignored by everyone, of the sentence of the Constitutional Court on the case of Cosimo Ferri, a non-tenured magistrate and parliamentarian for various legislatures. Last Thursday the Court upheld the jurisdictional conflict raised by the Superior Council of the Judiciary in the context of the disciplinary procedure against Ferri. Consequentially, annulled the resolution with which, on 12 January 2022, the Chamber of Deputies denied the disciplinary section of the CSM the authorization to use wiretaps concerning Ferri obtained in the famous meeting at the Champagne Hotel on 9 January 2019. The meeting, as known, involved the parliamentarian, various professional members of the CSM, fellow deputy Luca Lotti and Luca Palamara (a mobile phone had been installed in the trojans), and was focused on the appointment of the new prosecutor of Rome.
