The 5 Stars break with the PD over De Raho. Today the final challenge regarding the former prosecutor

The 5 Stars party is rallying around Federico Cafiero De Raho and accusing the government majority of orchestrating slanderous attacks against him.

The 5 Star Movement (M5S) has publicly rallied around Federico Cafiero De Raho, an ex-prosecutor, accusing the ruling government majority of fabricating a "false and slanderous" narrative against him. They claim this narrative is designed to support the timing of the Antimafia Commission's activities, which align with the government's campaign for constitutional reform aimed at separating the careers of public prosecutors and judges. The M5S is prepared to disrupt the opposition's unity, specifically to avoid voting on a final report that casts doubts on De Raho's knowledge regarding a systematic dossier campaign against right-wing politicians. This campaign was allegedly orchestrated by financier Pasquale Striano, who leaked sensitive information to the media while De Raho was leading the anti-mafia division (Dna). As the judicial inquiry by the Rome Public Prosecutor's Office nears trial, the political implications are significant, stemming from two years of investigations and hearings conducted by the commission led by Chiara Colosimo from the Brothers of Italy (Fdi). Today, the commission is set to finalize its report, which could have substantial impacts on the political landscape in Italy, especially in relation to the ongoing tensions between the M5S and the ruling parties.
