Politicians don't accept being judged in Italy says Caselli

(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 15 - Italian politicians don't accept being judged by the judiciary, veteran former Palermo and Turin chief prosecutor Gian Carlo Caselli told Corriere della Sera Sunday in an interview on Deputy Premier and Transport Minister Matteo Salvini who is facing a six-year jail term request in Palermo for allegedly kidnapping migrants on board the Spanish NGO Open Arms rescue ship five years ago.
    "It has become a habit, criticising a magistrate," said Caselli, who led high-profile graft and mafia cases in his long and distinguished career.
    "But by doing that you create a paradox. Those who do their duty even towards a politician, probing them for crimes, end up themselves in the dock and are paradoxically accused of doing politics". (ANSA).
