Antonio Di Pietro

Antonio Di Pietro (born October 2, 1950) is an Italian Senator and professor of law. He founded the Italia dei Valori (Italy of Values) party, and fought a long crusade against political corruption in Italy. He came under investigation himself in 1997, but this was considered by most to be a political move.

Quote

"As a bricklayer I tried to build my walls straight, as a policeman I tried to arrest criminals, and as a judge I tried to bring people to trial when there was good reason to do so."
