Cassation Court prosecutor Pasquale
Ciccolo on Monday night opened disciplinary action against
Naples prosecutor Henry John Woodcock over an article published
in La Repubblica on April 21 in which Woodcock spoke about the
relations between prosecutors in Rome and Naples probing graft
at civil service procurement agency CONSIP and a probe opened by
Rome prosecutors against Carabinieri environmental department
(NOE) policeman Giampaolo Scafarto. Among other things, Woodcock
described as a "serious mistake" Scafarto's attributing to
arrested businessman Alfredo Romeo, and not to centre-right
politician Italo Bocchino, a phrase allegedly concerning a
meeting with the father of ex-premier Matteo Renzi, Tiziano. The
elder Renzi is under investigation for suspected influence
peddling while Sports Minister Luca Lotti is being probed for
suspected revelation of judicial secrets.
