Overview
- The Viminale completed a 65‑article plan split between a decree and a bill, slated for an upcoming Council of Ministers before submission to Parliament.
- Carrying knives with blades over 5 cm would become a crime punishable by one to three years in prison with aggravations, with possible suspensions of driving and firearms licenses, passports and residence permits.
- Measures on youth violence expand Questore warnings, fine guardians €200–€1,000, ban sales of cutting weapons to minors with €500–€3,000 fines, and allow arrest and precautionary measures for minors caught with knives.
- Immigration provisions aim to accelerate removals, limit judicial validations of detentions, tighten family reunifications, align safe‑country rules with the EU, authorize temporary interdiction of territorial waters with transfers to partner third countries, and earmark over €8 million for returns through 2028.
- Public‑order tools stabilize red‑zone bans, widen urban Daspo and biometric stadium checks, permit undercover prison operations, toughen penalties for theft and failing to stop at police checks, and add station‑security powers and funding while curbing automatic suspect registration when legal justification applies.
