“The expressions of the prosecutor call into question the collaboration to which the Executive Branch is obliged as an assistant to the Prosecutor’s Office. As we have stated since day one, we reaffirm, once again, our demand that the Government comply with its institutional responsibilities and collaborate with the investigation”indicates the document approved at the meeting.
In addition, it points out that up to now “only police commanders have been removed”, not thus established “political responsibilities”.
And it adds that the case “involves persecution of senators of the Republic, monitoring of high school students, influence peddling, use of security devices for private purposes, falsification of documentation for the granting of passports.”
For the FA Astesiano he was a “member of a criminal association that operated from the Executive Tower”, although “it remains to elucidate its scope”.
