The Italian Constitutional Court has ruled that the parliamentary challenge against Giusi Bartolozzi is admissible. Bartolozzi, former chief of staff to Justice Minister Carlo Nordio, is under investigation for providing false information to the Tribunal of Ministers regarding the case of Libyan torturer Mohamed Almasri, who was arrested in Italy but later released by the government. In April, the Chamber of Deputies voted to extend parliamentary immunity to Bartolozzi, similar to that granted to Nordio, Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi, and Deputy Prime Minister Alfredo Mantovano. Deputies argued that judges should have sought authorization to proceed against Bartolozzi, considering her involvement in the alleged favoritism towards Nordio. The Tribunal of Ministers had previously deemed her testimony 'inattentive and deceitful' and ordered direct citation to trial, but the process remains suspended pending resolution of the attribution conflict. Today’s ruling concerns only the procedural admissibility of the appeal, while the substantive merits will be decided in a future hearing. The court confirmed that the Chamber is legally entitled to propose the conflict to protect its职权

The Italian Constitutional Court has declared the conflict of jurisdiction raised by the Chamber of Deputies against the Collegio per i Reati Ministeriali and the Prosecutor’s Office of Rome as admissible. The case involves Giusi Bartolozzi, former chief of staff to Justice Minister Carlo Nordio, who was investigated for providing false information to prosecutors in the Almasri case—a case involving Libyan general arrested in Italy. The Chamber argues that Bartolozzi’s position is 'teleologically connected' to the crimes committed by Nordio and other ministers already examined by Parliament, thus requiring parliamentary approval before legal action. While the court did not determine who is correct, it confirmed the conflict can proceed. This marks a potential victory for the center-right majority, which believes the prosecutor’s office bypassed parliamentary oversight.
