Judge risks transfer over referendum comments

(ANSA) - Rome, December 1 - A high-ranking Italian judge risks being transferred after the judiciary's self-governing body, the CSM, opened disciplinary proceedings against him for comments about the Constitutional referendum posted on social media. Francesco Caruso, the president of the court of Bologna, reportedly said on Facebook that the Constitutional reform being voted on is based on "corruption" and "clientelism". Caruso gave no comment on the CSM's move.
