ROME – Italian judges and prosecutors shut down trials nationwide yesterday to protest government austerity measures that would slash their salaries, and many joined protests against a proposed law that would limit the use of wiretaps in investigations.More than 80 per cent of the National Association of Magistrates participated in the nationwide strike against measures it called “irrational”.
