As I earlier indicated, this step in the process brings it out of never-never land and into a public courtroom where Silvio and the other Fastweb/TI execs can defend themselves and actually hear the so-called evidence against them. It remains an astonishing abuse of prosecutorial power when you can confine Italian citizens for 6 months or more without having to present them with specific charges of the alleges crimes committed. Hopefully following this trial the government will enact and implement laws which offer greater protection of their citizens human rights such that these type abuses are halted.
