Querelle taxi drivers-Lucarelli, Codacons presents exposed in the prosecutor’s office

Codacons intervenes on the case of the clash between the journalist Selvaggia Lucarelli and a taxi cooperative in the capital, presenting a complaint to the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Rome. “Lucarelli did well to denounce the illegal behavior of some taxi drivers and we believe that the judiciary should intervene by acquiring the films published by the journalist and investigating the perpetrators of offenses – explains Codacons – As for the defense of the category by Loreno Bittarelli, we believe that the president of 3570 would do well to remove the bad apples and condemn irregularities and abuses committed by his taxi drivers, because it is precisely these behaviors that ruin the category, certainly not the criticisms of users and journalists “. With regard to the conduct of taxi drivers, “we recall that only a few years ago the president of the association Carlo Rienzi was stalked, insulted and threatened by some taxi drivers for having blocked the increase in taxi fares in the capital with an appeal. to demonize the category, of which many honest workers are part, but to punish bad apples with the utmost severity, which instead of being removed as it should happen in any healthy market, are defended by trade associations, encouraging dangerous behavior “, concludes the Codacons.
