Naples prosecutor Henry John
Woodcock is being investigated by the Rome prosecutors' office
for an alleged breach of investigation confidentiality in
relation to a corruption probe centred on civil-service
procurement agency CONSIP, sources said Tuesday.
The CONSIP case is sensitive and Sports Minister Luca Lotti
and Tiziano Renzi, the father of ex-premier and Democratic Party
(PD) leader Matteo Renzi, are among those under investigation.
"I have found out that I am under investigation for revealing
judicial secrets. I have absolute confidence in my colleagues in
the Rome prosecutors' office and so I am certain that I will be
able to clarify my position, dispelling every doubt and shadow
about my professional and personal correctness," Woodcock told
ANSA.
"I don't deny, nevertheless, that I am very saddened and that
this is a very difficult moment for me. But I can state that my
work has always been inspired by the sole intention of serving
justice and respecting the rules".
