The Italian Council of Ministers has approved a justice decree that notably omits two significant and contentious provisions: the ‘gag’ on judges and tighter cybercrime regulations. A new article enhances the effectiveness of electronic bracelets for protecting women from violence, while another change allows the extraordinary commissioner for prison construction to approve new projects without regional consent. The bill faced opposition from Forza Italia regarding the expanded role of the antimafia prosecutor, leading to ongoing tensions within the governing coalition.
