Italian Prison Reform Decree Becomes Law

Published: 2024-08-09

In a significant legislative development, Italian President Sergio Mattarella has signed the "Dl carceri," a decree concerning prison regulations, into law.

This move comes swiftly after the decree's approval by the Italian Parliament, highlighting the urgency and importance of the legislation.

The decree aims to address pressing issues within the Italian prison system, although specific details of the reforms have not been disclosed.

Additionally, President Mattarella is expected to promulgate a separate bill concerning the abuse of office, which was passed by Parliament on July 10. The President is utilizing the full 30-day period available to him to thoroughly evaluate this bill before signing it into law.

These legislative actions underscore the Italian government's focus on reforming legal and penal systems to enhance justice and accountability.
