Santanchè and the Inps scam, in the Senate Junta passes Lega Lega proposal: here's what happens now

The Senate's Immunities Committee approved by a majority vote (the opposition groups were against, with the exception of Italia viva, which did not vote because Senator Ivan Scalfarotto was busy chairing the session) the proposal by the rapporteur Erika Stefani (Lega) to initiate a conflict of attribution between State powers before the Constitutional Court against the Public Prosecutor's Office at the Court of Milan, in relation to the use of correspondence and wiretapping in the investigation into the alleged fraud at the Inps involving the Minister of Tourism Daniela Santanchè, senator of Fratelli d'Italia.

The Council also rejected, by a majority vote, the request made by Senator Alfredo Bazoli (PD) to postpone the continuation of the examination of the documentation under examination, a request motivated by the hypothesis that, on the basis of a request made by Santanché's defence, the Court would decide not to use part of the investigative material subject to the possible conflict of attribution.

The final word will fall to the Senate chamber, which will have to take a vote on Stefani's report.

The rapporteur Stefani had explained at the previous sitting of the Council that 'the Public Prosecutor's Office, in an investigation in which Santanchè is co-defendant, used the transcription of conversations recorded by a private individual in secret. They have all been transcribed, there is a huge loot. As well as all the e-mails that were exchanged with Senator Santanchè by various subjects'.

Stefani explained that 'there are some very important rulings of the Constitutional Court, precisely on the problems of conflict of attribution, which say that even if you have correspondence saved inside your PC, it is not that it becomes a document, it is still correspondence, until so much time has passed that it becomes historical'.
