"This report, by Mr Rapkay, concerns the request for the defence of the parliamentary immunity of the Italian Member of the European Parliament, Luigi de Magistris. Mr de Magistris, who was elected a Member in 2009, was summoned before the Court of Milan, Italy, on behalf of Giancarlo Pittelli, due to the fact that in April 2010, he published a book called
(‘Attack on the public prosecutor – the story of a bad magistrate’), in which, on pages 27, 58-60, 88-90 and 113-114, he questions Mr Pittelli’s ability to act as legal counsel for a defendant in the ‘Shock’ criminal case. Mr Pittelli considers the statements to be ‘very offensive to him’, since he is presented therein ‘as a member of a white-collar mafia, upholding inappropriately close relationships with the judiciary, businessmen and politicians’. Mr de Magistris maintains that he merely expressed his opinion ‘on important matters relating to the public interest’, and that the book is ‘an expression of the political activity of an MEP’. Given that the statements contained in the book do not ‘have a direct, obvious connection with Luigi de Magistris’s performance of his duties as a Member of the European Parliament’, and in view of the opinion of the Committee on Legal Affairs, I am voting in favour of not defending the privileges and immunities of Mr de Magistris."@en1
