(ANSA) - Rome, June 17 - The vice president of the Supreme
Council of Magistrates (CSM), David Ermini, on Monday called an
extraordinary plenary session of the judiciary's self-governing
body for Friday June 21, to be chaired by CSM titular head and
Italian President Sergio Mattarella.
The CSM has been roiled by an appointments and cronyism
scandal affecting most factions of Italy's politicised
judiciary.
On the agenda Friday will be the instalment of two new CSM
members, the calling of by elections among prosecutors for two
CSM members, and the appointment of the central electoral office
at the Cassation Court - all technical moves needed following
the resignations of members involved in a Perugia corruption and
cronyism probe.
