Robledo shifted as clash between Milan prosecutors continues

Bruti Liberati strips rival of corruption brief

Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - Rome, October 3 - A long-running and angry clash within the Milan prosecutors' office continued on Friday when chief prosecutor Edmondo Bruti Liberati stripped Alfredo Robledo of his brief for corruption cases.
    Liberati shifted Robledo to the office in charge of criminal probes.
    The pair have been at odds for months after Robledo filed a formal complaint to Italian judiciary's self-governing body, the CSM, against Bruti Liberati over several high-profile cases.
    These include the case against Silvio Berlusconi for allegedly paying for sex with an underage prostitute and abusing his office to cover up the affair - charges that the ex-premier was cleared of after an appeals court overturned a conviction at the first-instance trial.
    Robledo argued that Bruti Liberati's decision to hand the Berlusconi sex case to anti-Mafia prosecutor Ilda Boccassini was illegitimate.
    Bruti Liberati has hit back at Robledo, saying he interfered in a case regarding alleged corruption in Milan Expo 2015 contracts and put the investigation in peril.
    Supreme court prosecutors are looking into the clash between the two. On Friday sources close to Robledo said he was "serene" and would respond to the transfer by reporting to the CSM.
