It is a cry of alarm that was launched by the Attorney General of Naples, Nicola Gratteri, guest this morning on the show ReStart on Raitre.
Asked after a report on Ostia, which highlighted the latest episodes of crime, Gratteri answered bluntly to the question of whether “the State has lost”"From the Cartabia reform to today, every intervention on justice has ignored the guarantees for the injured parties, with the only result of slowing down the processes and lengthening their times".
Il attorney has put the spotlight on some critical issues of the judicial system, starting from wiretapping, whose duration is limited to 45 days, up to the procedures for pre-trial detention. “Let's take the case of a mother with a drug-addicted son”, Gratteri explained.
For Gratteri it is necessary to modify the Cartabia law
“He knows who sells him drugs, he finds the courage to report it and the investigation starts from there. The prosecutor asks for the arrest, but first the dealer must be questioned. In the meantime, five days pass: he is free, he reads the documents and finds out who reported him. The question is: who will have the courage to file a complaint?”.
A painting which, according to the magistrate, highlights a jammed system, far from citizens and their needs for justice.

It is true that the justice situation in Italy is very complex and there are many problems to solve. But sometimes I wonder if the reforms are really as effective as we hope, because the times of the trials seem to be increasingly longer.
I agree with Marcello's opinion, there are too many points to improve. The Cartabia law seems not to have brought the necessary changes and the safety of citizens suffers a lot.
