– The disciplinary section of the CSM acquitted Judge Antonio Esposito, president of the Chamber which definitely convicted Silvio Berlusconi’s Mediaset to the process, from the charge of violating the duty of confidentiality for an interview before the filing of the written judgment.
to end Esposito before the” court robes “on charges of breach of confidentiality was an interview given to the Morning of Naples a few days after the ruling on Berlusconi and before filing motivations. Output which caused a hornet’s nest of controversy inside and outside the judiciary.
The next day the judgment The Morning went on newsstands titrating: “Berlusconi condemned because he knew, not because he could not know.” The judge accused the newspaper immediately – against which filed a civil case – of having manipulated the interview. A thesis that reiterated during the disciplinary process (and whose justification has been recognized by the same prosecutor general of the Supreme Court), explaining that he had “never spoken of the outcomes of the process Mediaset”, but that the text was added a question about the process that in fact he had never been formulated.
To understand the reasons for the decision of the Disciplinary Committee – which is subject to appeal before the civil Joint Sections of the Supreme Court and was taken after more than three hours of deliberation – it was not until the filing of the reasons. In his long and passionate self-defense Esposito explained that, if actually spoke with the journalist of the reasons why the process the leader of Forza Italy had been assigned to the working of the Supreme Court and set for July 30, because it was thought his “duty to restore the truth “, after suffering” the most infamous lynching of history “, with the explicit accusation of” having entered an order anomalous with the aim of hitting Berlusconi “.
Esposito has also ruled that he had he called for the interview: “I had no reason to get me through a newspaper ad short-run, when my name appeared on all the Italian and foreign newspapers and I had refused to give an interview to CNN.” The representative of the Prosecutor General of the Supreme Court, Ignazio Juan Patrone, who had asked for the sanction of censure Esposito, had contended that the magistrate had still failed to duty of confidentiality, “urging himself advertising news on its activities and on process just treated “and not yet completed, since there had been deposited the reasons.
