ANM says Fanfani meddled in Lodi case

(ANSA) - Rome, May 4 - Magistrates union ANM said Wednesday Giuseppe Fanfani, a Democratic Party(PD)-appointed member of the Supreme Council of Magistrates (CSM) was guilty of "undue interference" by criticising prosecutors in a probe into alleged bid-rigging by PD Lodi Mayor Simone Uggetti. Fanfani replied that he would not, for now, ask for a CSM probe to be opened against the Lodi prosecutors "unless new events happen". The CSM is the judiciary's self-governing body. Uggetti is accused with two others of rigging contracts for municipal swimming pools.
