Justice, Antonio Mura new head of cabinet in place of Bartolozzi
In 2013 he was the Cassation judge in the Mediaset trial that convicted Silvio Berlusconi of tax fraud
The Minister of Justice, Carlo Nordio, did not let much time pass and chose the current head of the legislative office Antonio Mura as the new head of the Cabinet. The appointment will be formalised in the coming days. Mura takes the place of Giusi Bartolozzi, Nordio's former chief of staff who resigned on Tuesday along with Via Arenula undersecretary Andrea Delmastro. Two of the most powerful chairs in the ministry after the minister's.
Ex-magistrate of the Supreme Court
A retired magistrate, from 2014 to 2017 Mura served as head of the Department of Justice Affairs, while in 2022 he was Attorney General of the Republic at the Court of Appeal in Rome. Mura is considered in via Arenula to be a figure with 'high ministerial standing', for some even a papable minister in the coming years, although more suitable within a technical government as he is far from party flags. Mura's new position raises the question of how to fill the post left vacant at the head of the legislative office, which plays an important and delicate role.
Born in Sassari in 1954, a togato since 1984 and former president of Magistratura indipendente, Mura was, among other things, the Cassazione prosecutor in the Mediaset trial that convicted Silvio Berlusconi of tax fraud in 2013.
