Renzi urges judiciary to be 'inflexible'

(ANSA) - Rome, April 4 - Premier Matteo Renzi said Monday he wants the judiciary to be "inflexible" in identifying wrongdoers and putting them behind bars. "I ask the magistrature, which has all our respect, to be inflexible in nabbing those who commit crimes and in sending them to prison," he told a meeting of the executive of his Democratic Party (PD). The premier added anyone alleging the PD took kickbacks from oil companies "will have to answer for it in court". "A political battle is one thing, talking about the PD as though it were a community of criminals is another," Renzi said. "We are a community of decent people".
