Rome Chief Prosecutor Francesco Lo
Voi on Wednesday defended himself against government claims he
had acted wrongly over allegedly secret information on Premier
Giorgia Meloni's chef de cabinet Gaetano Caputi whose alleged
leaking spurred a complaint from the DIS intelligence service
agency.
Testifying to parliamentary intelligence service oversight
committee COPASIR, Lo Voi stressed the "absolute correctness of
my office's workings, and no violation of the law," sources
said.
Lo Voi said the charges against him were wholly unfounded and
voiced disappointment about the media attacks he has been
subjected to, in his three-hour testimony to the panel.
Lo Voi was recently criticised by Pemier Giorgia Meloni for
informing her she was being probed along with two ministers and
her cabinet secretary for the release after a brief arrest and
flight home of Libyan alleged war criminal Osama Almasri, wanted
by the International Criminal Court.
