(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 29 - Premier Giorgia Meloni, Justice Minister Carlo Nordio, Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi and Cabinet Secretary with the intelligence brief Alfredo Mantovano have decided to jointly appoint Giulia Bongiorno as the attorney representing them in the case of Libyan judicial police commander Najeem Osama Almasri Habish, well-informed sources said Wednesday.
    The choice "highlights the government's unity also in exercising its right to defence", the sources said.
    Bongiorno was seen entering the premier's office at Palazzo Chigi on Wednesday morning.
    Meloni on Tuesday said she had received notice of a probe into possible aiding and abetting and embezzlement of public funds from Rome chief prosecutor Francesco Lo Voi and that the same notice of investigation had been sent to Nordio, Piantedosi and Mantovano.
    The notification was issued after attorney Luigi Li Gotti filed a criminal complaint over the case.
    The Tribunal of Ministers is set to examine the case to decide whether to pursue it or shelve it. (ANSA).
