We victims of maljustice for the Yes

Antonio Lattanzi, a victim of judicial errors, calls on prosecutor Gratteri to address the pain caused by wrongful incarcerations, advocating for justice reform.

Antonio Lattanzi, who spent 83 days in prison in Teramo due to wrongful charges, addressed participants at Montecitorio during the launch of 'La voce degli Innocenti', a committee of citizens advocating for a 'Yes' vote on a justice reform referendum. Lattanzi, despite being arrested and released four times within three months before ultimately being acquitted, emphasized the emotional and psychological toll of wrongful imprisonment. He urged prosecutor Gratteri to acknowledge the plight of those wrongfully accused who may vote in favor of the proposed reforms.

Enrico Costa, the justice spokesman for Forza Italia, also used the opportunity to convey a message to Gratteri regarding the serious implications of the proposed justice reform. Costa highlighted that the changes being discussed will have significant impacts on those currently incarcerated and their families. He pointed out that many involved in recent arrests, including high-profile cases, are innocent individuals whose lives have been forever altered by these judicial proceedings. The comments made during this event reflect a growing concern among citizens regarding the justice system's handling of arrests and convictions.

This discussion sheds light on the larger implications of judicial reform in Italy as citizens like Lattanzi and Costa express the urgent need for a review of processes that lead to wrongful incarcerations. The rising voice of those affected by judicial errors brings a personal dimension to the debate, not just highlighting the legal and bureaucratic shortcomings, but also the human cost of the justice system, pushing for reforms that prioritize innocent lives over bureaucratic classification of individuals as 'suspects' or 'accused.'
