In short, everything was ready to reveal the Minister 's fate . If she were charged, she would then have to clarify her position regarding whether or not to resign from the position she holds in the Meloni government.
The minister changes her lawyer
Daniela Santanché has cancelled the hearing on Wednesday 26 March because she has changed her lawyer , "replacing Salvatore Sanzo with Salvatore Pino alongside his colleague Nicoló Pelanda", as reported by Il Corriere della Sera and Affariitaliani.it
This change allows Santanché to gain additional time since Pino has requested the application of the legal deadlines to study the documents.
In addition to this change, which will postpone the trial, it is important to note that Judge Gueli has changed her position and may no longer be able to take part in the trial.
If this were to be the case, the hearing would be held before a new judge, restarting the process and extending the timeframe once again.
