Italy's Court of Cassation has overturned previous convictions against prosecutor De Pasquale and judge Spadaro. The two legal officials were previously sentenced in first and second-degree trials related to an investigation into alleged bribes in Nigeria. The Supreme Court has now issued a full acquittal for both individuals. This ruling reverses the legal standing established by the lower courts. The case centered on a high-profile inquiry into a "maxi-bribe" involving the energy giant Eni. This decision marks a significant legal turn in the long-running judicial process. The acquittal clears the names of the officials involved in the probe.
