Against as a public prosecutor, in favor as a minister. Carlo Nordio, the Minister of Justice who today lends his name to the constitutional bill for the separation of careers, is the same Carlo Nordio who, as a prosecutor, signed an appeal against the separation . This is demonstrated by this letter signed by the then magistrate in Venice and sent to the National Magistrates' Association. It was May 3, 1994 .

This is what we read on the online site "La magistratura", a magazine edited by the National Magistrates' Association , which also publishes a 1994 document headed by the Public Prosecutor's Office at the Venice Tribunal , which was faxed to the Rome headquarters of the National Magistrates' Association, in which Nordio, along with other magistrates, states that he is "against the division of the careers of magistrates with prosecuting and judging functions".

A document released to demonstrate the former magistrate's change of heart and opinion, just days after the Senate approved the government's proposed reform, which would establish the separation of judicial careers.

The Keeper of the Seals' response was prompt: "In those years, I was against the separation of careers because I hoped the judiciary would remain united, in a time of massacres and bribery scandals. Then came the case of the suicide of a suspect in one of my investigations in Venice. From there, I realized we were going too far, and in 1995, I changed my mind, so much so that even some newspapers the next day carried headlines about my new decision. Moreover, I was certainly not the only magistrates, politicians, and journalists to change their minds. In 1997, I was called by the ANM's arbitration committee to explain my views, which I reiterated."
