Majority summit on justice, 'solid on reforms'

(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 11 - An ongoing ruling majority summit on the government's planned justice reform to separate the career paths of judges and prosecutors and other moves has shown that the parties are "solid on the reforms," sources said Tuesday.
    The intention - according to sources in the majority - would be "to act united and avoid, with regard to the various measures, rushing ahead on the issue of justice, trying to avoid a further increase in tone on some topics".
    Among the topics discussed were the definition of limits for the use of Trojans in investigations and the 45-day limit for wiretapping.
    The chairs of the parliamentary justice committees and the majority group leaders of the Lower House and Senate are present at the summit.
    Italian magistrates are strongly resisting the career paths reform that would stop them switching between the roles of judges and prosecutors, which they say is aimed at putting the latter under executive control, a contention the government firmly denies. (ANSA).
