More quotes by Carlo Nordio

Legitimate choices are not necessarily appropriate ones. A magistrate must not only be impartial, but must also appear to be impartial.

I agree with the crisis in justice. Ninety percent of our work is useless because we have Byzantine procedures for prosecuting mountains of crimes. We are grinding water and this is frustrating.

I believe that no magistrate should ever run for election, and even more so, a public prosecutor who has become famous for political investigations should not do so.
