Overview

• Italy’s Administrative Court of Lazio upheld an antitrust sanction against motorway operator Salt for charging full tolls despite prolonged restrictions.
• The judges classified the practice as an unfair commercial practice, affirming that operators cannot demand full payment when service is curtailed.
• South Tyrol’s consumer group Robin called the ruling a template for the A22 Brenner corridor and urged immediate action by Rome’s antitrust authority.
• Brennerautobahn AG has not commented, and there is currently no order requiring toll reductions or refunds on the A22.
• Transport regulator ART is developing a framework for reimbursements or reductions during major disruptions, with implementation targeted from 2026.
