Italian Parliament allows access to Andrea Delmastro's chat with Mauro Caroccia
Rome’s chief prosecutor Francesco Lo Voi sent a letter to the Chamber requesting the parliamentary bodies to obtain the phone chats between former justice under‑secretary Andrea Delmastro and restaurateur Mauro Caroccia, who is alleged to be a front for the Senese mafia clan. The letter prompted the scheduled vote on authorising access to the material to be postponed, sending the issue back to the Giunta for authorisations. President of the Chamber Lorenzo Fontana blocked the access and referred the matter to the Giunta for the Regulation. President of the Giunta for authorisations Devis Dori then authorised members of the Giunta to view the material from 10 a.m. the following day, under a confidentiality constraint. The dossier, part of the “Bisteccheria d’Italia” investigation into alleged money‑laundering and mafia‑linked ownership, includes the chats that prosecutors say could clarify the ownership of the restaurant. The Giunta will meet next week to decide whether a supplemental investigative step is required. Opposition parties argue the blockage denies the Giunta’s rights and could set a precedent.
