Complaint against Rome prosecutor over intelligence leak

(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 8 - The Perugia Public Prosecutor's Office will begin work on Monday on a complaint lodged by the DIS department that coordinates Italy's intelligence agencies against the Rome Public Prosecutor's Office headed by Francesco Lo Voi over the leaking of a confidential report, sources said on Saturday.
    The case regards the publication by daily newspaper Domani of information about Premier Giorgia Meloni's Chief of Staff Gaetano Caputi coming from a classified document by the Aisi intelligence agency.
    It is alleged that Lo Voi's office received the document and failed to take the necessary measures to prevent it from being leaked.
    Tension was already high between the government and Lo Voi's office after it put Meloni and some other ministers in the register of people being probed over the case of Osama Almasri Najim, a Libyan judicial police chief released by Italy last month days after being detained in Turin on an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant.
    The non-magistrate members of the judiciary's self-governing body, the CSM, nominated by the ruling centre-right coalition, meanwhile, have requested that transfer and disciplinary procedures be opened against Lo Voi over the leak.
    They said relations between Lo Voi and the intelligence agencies are now compromised. The same CSM members had made a similar request in relation to the Almasri case. (ANSA).
