prison sentence for misconduct
The "condemned" prosecutor being having been given both the duty and full permission from the GIP to investigate (including phone tapping) the judge who was accused by his underlings of blocking further investigation into the monster of florence case.
Only for Mignini to be charged of abuse of public office (illegal phone tapping) and brought to trial by said judge, and condemed in the tribunal that was under the investigation being run by the defndant (Mignini)
A conviction for which an appeal for a quashing is currently in the queue for being heard.
Which you can kind of understand given that if he had NOT run the investigation or been seen to NOT use all resources at his disposal, there would have been a water tight case against him for abuse of office in the blocking of an investigation. The same charges he faced BY running the investigation and using all premitted resources at his disposal.
A catch 22 like this is not unheard of here, you have a powerful and politically independant judicery that is required to keep an eye on each other to weed out any corruption or bad eggs.
Public officals get caught in the cross fire of judges investigating other judges. In this case the Tribunal of Perugia investigating the Tribunal of Florence for potential obstruction of justice, or similar.
None of this info, that places a rather less slanted light on Mignini, is hidden from the English speaking press.
