Retired judges, the government towards another extension to avoid maxi-holes in prosecutors and courts – The Daily

The reverse of age government of Retirement rulers is about to take. The decision taken by the reform of the Public Administration two years ago to lower the limit to 70 years was slowly eaten away by the extensions decided by the government. Two already in recent months, the third coming is announced in a Council of Ministers fixed during the next week. The main problem is still the number of vacancies, even in senior positions in prosecutors, courts up to the Supreme Court. Three of the most prominent names that should give way if there was an extension: the national anti-Mafia prosecutor and counterterrorism Franco Roberti , the Attorney General of the Supreme Court Pasquale Ciccolo and first President of the Supreme Court itself, John Canzio which is actually only there since last December. Falls in February 2017 also the retirement of chief prosecutor of Naples, John Colangelo , which guides the judicial office with the highest number of pm and for several months under very high protection after the discovery of a bomb project against him by the Casale (under his direction were arrested almost all the leaders of the Camorra clan and a high number of fugitives).

the point it is not just about names – prestigious and less prestigious, known and unknown – but also on the amount of seats that remain vacant. A risk feared by many in recent months. In fact the system does not guarantee quick and total replacement . On the one hand winners of competitions they have to face a long training before being assigned to a prosecutor or to a court with full powers. Across the CSM in the last year he has accelerated the pace on the appointments: the Corriere della Sera now talking about 440 last year. Also on Courier estimated that in two years they have created thousand “uncovered positions” on a workforce of 9 thousand ordinary magistrates .

Then, twice, everything was delayed, allowing togas over 70 to remain in place until the end of 2016 . But on December 31 the extension expires, and now the government has to decide, in short, do also to block (possibly) competitions already under way to replace those who will soon leave the judiciary. In fact within the government there are positions on: finally confirm the decision of two years ago or give the go ahead to yet another extension. In this case it would be used as the decree tool.
