Justice reform even more urgent now - Salvini (2)

(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 21 - Deputy Premier and Transport Minister Matteo Salvini on Saturday said a justice reform to separate the career paths of judges and prosecutors is even more urgent now, speaking a day after he was acquitted by a court in Palermo over the Open Arms case.
    "I wasn't scared.
    "It is a fair sentence that I was expecting.
    "I have to say that, yesterday, in court in Palermo, I saw a correct, fair and healthy separation between those who judge and those who prosecute.
    "But it's not always the case.
    "Therefore, now the separation of career paths" and the possibility of prosecuting magistrates in civil courts for bad decisions made "intentionally" while carrying out their duties "is fundamental", he said. (ANSA).
