Overview

  • The Turin Court of Appeal annulled the detention of a Moroccan migrant, citing insufficient proof that he was informed of his right to seek international protection.
  • The migrant, detained in a Turin CPR since April 18, filed an asylum application on April 28, which complicated his expulsion process.
  • Judge Giuseppe Biondi of the Lecce Court of Appeal suspended a detention-extension case and referred the constitutionality of decree-law 145/2024 to the Constitutional Court.
  • The decree-law, which shifted detention validation from specialized immigration tribunals to Courts of Appeal, is criticized for bypassing expertise and compressing defense rights.
  • Parliamentary sources reported the transfer of 15 migrants to an Italian-run CPR in Albania, highlighting ongoing tensions in Italy’s immigration enforcement strategies.
