In a beautiful setting of the public was held on Thursday 1 July at the Court of Stars clean up the meeting-debate on "tapping: right to privacy, or obstacle to the security and freedom of the press."
important guests have reported on this delicate matter, in words understandable to the general public, casting a light of truth on what is happening in Parliament by this government bill, which many people do not mistakenly call "gag." Perhaps a
of the most anticipated, even after his school in our town, was the dr. Gioacchino Genchi, Deputy Police Quaestor, with a great responsibility on the interception of a person who has performed on behalf of the prosecuting authorities in Italy, managing to be a valuable aid in the capture of dangerous criminals or the search for truth. He, after a brief and heartfelt greetings to former classmates and teachers, has shown different techniques used to bring under control the phones of suspected criminals or victims and to place the so-called bugs, microphones including that allow you to hear conversations in different environments, all stuffed with anecdotes actually occurred that facilitated and made more enjoyable to listen attentively to the listeners. He also mentioned his thorny personal story that saw him go from a valued servant of the state for investigation for alleged violations in the course of his employment, which has greatly disappointed but at the same time allowed him to test the solidarity of many people and pushed to publish a book which tells a piece of the history of our country.
Another important guest of the evening was the dr. Gaetano Paci, Deputy Prosecutor at the District Anti-Mafia Directorate of Palermo, which addressed the topic from a technical and legal view. Recalling the importance of tapping Telephone and environment in the discovery of the perpetrators of numerous crimes, but also in preventing them and searches for the evidence, a world where crime is always one step ahead of Justice in the use of technological improvements for furtherance of their illegal purposes. Cases such as the horrors of the Clinic, where he performed invasive surgery and sometimes deadly, unnecessary, with the sole purpose of receiving reimbursement from the health service, would never come to light without this valuable tool. Remember that Italy has constitutionalized the use of wiretaps, unlike other countries like England, France or the USA where they are arranged by the police without any authorization by a magistrate, impartial third party. The approval of the bill under discussion in chambers, make unnecessary and costly interceptions, as will disporsi for 30 days extendable to 15 days and then for another 15, with permission from a court of three judges, located in district capital, with cost and time involved to drive back and forth between the various prosecutors and the center, bringing more and more voluminous trial dossiers which will eventually engulf the work of this college. What privacy can never justify the failure to capture di persone che si sono macchiati di delitti, minando la sicurezza di tutti noi cittadini, la verità è che non sulla tutela della riservatezza delle persone comuni qui si vuole intervenire bensì su quella degli uomini politici o che ricoprono incarichi pubblici, anche se costoro per il semplice fatto di essere personaggi noti all’opinione pubblica non possono vantare un diritto alla privacy (parole della Corte Europea dei diritti dell’uomo).
Il dibattito è stato moderato dal giornalista RAI dr. Mario Azzolini che non ha mancato di fare le sue osservazioni sulle ripercussioni che con questa legge si avranno alla libertà di stampa, dove chi pubblica verbali di intercettazione rischierà sanzioni penali e multe pesantissime e ciò di fatto scoraggerà a dare ai cittadini una informazione compiuta.
E'seguito un aperto dibattito con il pubblico presente, che ha avuto anche accenni polemici ma che si è svolto sempre nei limiti della pacatezza e del rispetto per le altrui opinioni.
Da tenere scolpita nelle nostre menti la chiosa finale di Genchi laddove afferma: "COLORO CHE SONO ONESTI NON HANNO NULLA DA TEMERE DALLE INTERCETTAZIONI".
Una pagina importante è stata scritta l’uno luglio a Cefalù nella veicolazione di notizie ed opinioni che spesso vengono sottaciute dai media ufficiali al grande pubblico, speriamo che ad essa possano seguire altri momenti di confronto su temi che favoriscano la crescita culturale e sociale della nostra comunità.
