Premier Matteo Renzi on Tuesday
denied attacking Potenza magistrates over the alleged slowness
of their cases. "I read in the papers today 'Renzi accuses
magistrates': come off it. The guy accusing magistrates was here
a few years ago (Silvio Berlusconi). We urge magistrates to go
as fast as possible and speak with their sentences. The more
sentences there are the happier we are". He added: "according to
Italian law people are condemned if they have a definitive
sentence". The Renzi government has been rocked by a southern
Italian oil probe which spurred the resignation of industry
minister Federica Guidi over a phonecall to her oil-industry
boyfriend telling him about a favourable government amendment.
