(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 21 - Two Milan prosecutors who were
convicted for failing to file documents that were in favour of
the defence in the high-profile Eni/Shell-Nigeria corruption
case only used evidence that could benefit their case, leaving
out all data that could have contributed to the defendants'
acquittal, Judge Roberto Spanò wrote in the motivation of the
sentence published on Thursday.
A court in Brescia chaired by Spanò last month handed an
eight-month suspended sentence to Milan State attorneys Fabio De
Pasquale and Sergio Spadaro on charges of refusal to perform a
duty for failing to file documents that were in favour of the
defence in the Eni/Shell-Nigeria corruption case that ended with
the acquittal of all defendants.
