Court Eviction in Ascoli: Officials Write to Prosecutor's Office
Listen to the story
The court building in Ascoli, Italy, is facing an eviction, meaning it must leave the premises it currently uses.
In response, two officials, Agostini and Monti, have written a letter to the Prosecutor General's Office, a high legal authority that oversees serious judicial matters.
In their letter, they have asked for a suspension of the eviction order, which would stop it from taking effect immediately.
They are also planning an appeal to the Court of Cassation, Italy's highest court, which reviews decisions made by lower courts.
Agostini and Monti argue that the eviction would cause irreparable damage, meaning harm that could never be undone or corrected.
The mayor of Ascoli, Fioravanti, has called the eviction decision inacceptable, describing it as a serious problem for the city.
Fioravanti said he is in contact with Albano, an undersecretary, who is a senior government official that supports a minister.
The mayor appears to be seeking political support to prevent the court from being forced out of its building.
No further details about the exact reasons for the eviction have been given in current reports.
