Milan got its first ever female
prosecutor general on Monday as Francesca Nanni took over the
prestigious judicial position.
Liguria-born Nanni, 60, was PG in Cagliari before her new
appointment last month.
She said she would take as her "model" Francesco Saverio
Borrelli, the man who formed the 'pool' of prosecutors that
helped bring down Italy's political establishment in the Clean
Hands probes in the early 1990s.
Women are in a majority on judges' benches in Italy but three
out of four executive judicial positions are held by men.
Of the country's prosecutors general, only 14% are women.
