Anti-Mafia prosecutor Nino Di
Matteo is set to leave Palermo after 18 years to join the
National anti-Mafia Directorate (DNA) in Rome, the Supreme
Council of Magistrates, the judiciary's self-governing body, has
decided.
Di Matteo, 56, whose transfer becomes operational
in two months' time, may however remain the prosecutor in a
trial into alleged talks between the State and the Mafia to stop
an early 1990s bombing campaign.
In that trial he has clashed with former president Giorgio
Napolitano over wiretaps of conversations with one of the
defendants, former Interior Minister Nicola Mancino.
The wiretaps were destroyed.
