Overview
- In a 129-page June 27 report, the Massimario Office found no new facts to justify using emergency decree powers under Article 77 to fast-track the security bill.
- The analysis warned that the decree’s mix of 14 new offenses and aggravated penalties risks disproportionate sanctions that could curb protest and economic freedoms.
- Judges highlighted an unprecedented “undercover-agent shield” that would let secret-service operatives direct banned associations without personal liability, calling its constitutionality into question.
- A separate 18-page June 29 report challenged the Italy-Albania protocol for applying detention rules extraterritorially and failing to guarantee asylum, defense, and health safeguards under EU law.
- Justice Minister Carlo Nordio and Senator Maurizio Gasparri denounced the critiques as judicial overreach, while opposition and civil-rights groups prepare constitutional challenges and referrals.
