(in addition to the interested parties, the lawyers and in one case also an interpreter) “. In this regard, the prosecutors observe that “in the Italian cpp, in order to protect the image of the persons participating in the proceedings, it is envisaged that when the photographic or audiovisual recording of the activities is authorized during the course of the hearing, the shooting is always prohibited (even before the diffusion ) of those who do not expressly consent to it “. The prosecutors then asked President Pignatone that “it should be considered that those who attended the investigative proceedings did not consent to the reproduction and disclosure in any form of files containing the recordings and, indeed, accepted the recording on the assumption and in the awareness that the itself was functional only to a more faithful verbalization of the acts “. Hence the request to revoke the request because otherwise “the right to privacy of the people involved would be irreparably compromised”. the investigations”.
