Overview
- Di Matteo confirmed in a public note on October 21 that he submitted his resignation from the Associazione Nazionale Magistrati in recent weeks.
- He said he no longer recognizes an association where correntizie logics and political opportunism persist, recalling past efforts to counter those dynamics at the CSM.
- He pledged to speak in a personal capacity against recent justice reforms, from the Cartabia law to the proposed constitutional revision on separating careers, which he argues threaten judicial independence, equal treatment under the law, and effective anti-crime work.
- The magistrate currently serves as a substitute prosecutor at the National Anti-Mafia Directorate after years in Palermo, where he led investigations and prosecuted the State–mafia negotiations case, and he was a CSM member from 2019 to 2023.
- Outlets describe the exit as a reputational setback for the ANM as campaigning on the careers-separation referendum moves into a decisive phase, with the association preparing to launch its No campaign.
