"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 to the European Parliament in 2009, was summoned before the Court of Lamezia, Italy, on behalf of Mr Antonio Saladino following an interview published in the Italian newspaper
on 9 March 2011. Mr Saladino, the main defendant in the ‘Why not’ criminal case, conducted by Mr de Magistris when he was a public prosecutor, accuses the Member of claiming that he had unlawfully interfered in this case ‘by membership in a secret network set up for this purpose’. Mr de Magistris maintains that he merely expressed his opinion ‘on matters of legitimate public interest’, and that he did so as part of his political activity as a Member of the European Parliament. Although he gave the interview in his capacity as a Member of the European Parliament, the issues addressed in it are not related to his parliamentary activity. As such, and in view of the opinion of the Committee on Legal Affairs, I am voting for this report and for not defending the privileges and immunities of Mr de Magistris."@en1
