The vice-president of the judiciary's
self governing body the Supreme Council of Magistrates (CSM),
Giovanni Legnini, on Sunday night said he agreed with Catanzaro
prosecutor Nicola Gratteri that leaks to the media came from
prosecutors' or police offices.
Speaking of a leaked wiretap in which ex-premier Matteo Renzi
tells his father to tell the truth in the CONSIP civil-service
procurement agency graft case, and Renzi's allegations of a
"plot", Legnini said he could "not anticipate the judgement that
the CSM will have to give, if the involvement of one or more
magistrates was proven."
The publication of the illegally leaked CONSIP wiretap led
Renzi to speak of a plot against him and his centre-left
Democratic Party (PD).
In the wiretap, he is heard telling his father Tiziano to
"tell the whole truth" about an alleged meeting with the
since-arrested Campania businessman at the centre of the probe,
Alfredo Romeo - a meeting Tiziano Renzi denies took place.
In the probe, the elder Renzi is under investigation for
suspected influence-peddling.
