CSM to appeal against TAR KO for Lo Voi

(ANSA) - Rome, May 22 - The Supreme Council of Magistrates (CSM), the judiciary's self-governing body, will appeal against a regional administrative court's (TAR) annulment of the appointment of top anti-mafia investigator Francesco Lo Voi as chief prosecutor of Palermo, CSM vice president Giovanni Legnini said Friday. The appeal will be to Italy's highest administrative court, the Council of State. "We mean to defend the CSM's autonomy of assessment," Legnini said. The CSM's independence, he said, was "guaranteed by the Constitution" and "we need to give a secure guide to one of Italy's top offices".
