The right-wing coalition government in Italy, led by Giorgia Meloni, has prepared a new security bill that includes some strict preventive measures for young people under the age of 18 who are prone to violence and become gangs.
The Council of Ministers met last night and discussed and approved the draft law envisaging a series of new regulations in the field of security. The bill in question will be submitted to parliament for approval.
In his statement after the cabinet meeting, Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi said that this latest regulation is an expansion of the comprehensive security law enacted in April.
Piantedosi noted that the "preventive detention" practice included in the regulation enacted in April has been expanded to include minors if there is reasonable cause to believe that they may engage in behavior that could endanger public security, such as keeping weapons or other objects intended to cause harm in entertainment venues.
The Minister said that with this regulation, local police in cities can also make "preventive detentions".
Piantedosi also informed that, with the warning of the police chiefs, a ban on gatherings may be imposed on night entertainments that pose a serious threat to public order and security, and the opportunity to conduct an ex officio investigation will be given in cases of intentional injury committed against law enforcement officers who are performing their duties.
In the news published in the press, it was stated that this latest regulation prepared by the Meloni government is especially aimed at young people under the age of 18 who are prone to violence and become gangs, which has been on the agenda in the country for a while.
