"Defending the independence of the mandate of Members of this House is the responsibility of Parliament, and that independence cannot be jeopardised. According to Article 8 of the Protocol on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Union, Members of the European Parliament shall not be subject to any form of inquiry, detention or legal proceedings in respect of opinions expressed or votes cast by them in the performance of their duties. The request by Luigi de Magistris relates to a writ of summons filed against him before the Court of Cosenza on behalf of Dr Vincenza Bruno Bossio in connection with statements made by Mr de Magistris in his book
(‘Attack on the public prosecutor – the story of a bad magistrate’), which was published in April 2010. The facts of the case, as manifested in the writ of summons and in Mr de Magistris’s written submissions to the Committee on Legal Affairs, indicate that the statements made do not have a direct, obvious connection with Mr de Magistris’s performance of his duties as a Member of the European Parliament. In publishing the book in question, Mr de Magistris was not acting in the performance of his duties as a Member of the European Parliament. I therefore support not defending the immunity and privileges of Mr de Magistris."@en1
