New Attorney General says Italy's legal system overloaded (ANSA) - Rome, February 8 - Newly appointed Italian Attorney General Michele Giuseppe Dipace said on Friday that overloads in the country's legal system were out of proportion.

More than 1.2 million legal cases are pending in Italy, suggesting problems in the judicial system, Dipace said.

The State Attorney's Office could also "contribute to the fight against fiscal invasion," Dipace said at his swearing in ceremony in Rome.
