Prescription, Travaglio on la7 TV: Speed up trials? All written in the proposals of the commission Gratteri that Renzi threw in the toilet
IL FATTO QUOTIDIANO (VIDEO)
“According to some politicians, with the reform of the statute of limitations you get to the ‘end process: NEVER’, but that’s nonsense, because the‘end process never’ also depends on the fact that there’s the statute of limitations. In fact, it depends on the intolerable length of the processes, which has always existed and certainly not since 1 January 2020. These are the words spoken in Dimartedi (la7) by the director of Il Fatto Quotidiano, Marco Travaglio, who explains: “The length of the process exists because we do too many processes, because every process, even a minimum, has three degrees of judgment, because all processes go to trial. In the systems that work, the trial goes to trial in 10 percent of cases, the rest is all plea or summary, because if you feel guilty, you have no interest in getting three degrees of judgment and paying the lawyer to be convicted: you settle now and they also give you the discount. If you don’t have that spring, you don’t settle.
And adds: “If you have the expectation of prescription, only a moron bargains the penalty when he can get ‘zero sentence'. The real problem in Italy is ‘zero sentence’. If they don’t want long trials, they know exactly what to do to make them shorter. Just put the reformatio in peius’, that is, if I appeal, I risk being sentenced in a heavier appeal than the one I had at first instance. Today I appeal and risk nothing, because the maximum risk is that they will confirm me the first degree. So why don’t I appeal? – continues– I throw the ball in court and spend another three years. They have to put filters for appeals. They must also do what he has always said: notifications must be sent by email to prevent law enforcement from acting as municipal agents who go around. We have the problem of witnesses being sent back for notification defects. There are trials that get redone because it changes a judge. These are all things that are in the Commission’s proposals that Renzi commissioned and then threw in the toilet. They all know what needs to be done to speed up processes.
